The firsb edition of an story bearing the above title, and written by a well-known former resident in Auckland, has just arrived in New Zealand. The book is one of thoae works known as " novels with a purpose." In the course of bis .ravels through the Australian wilds and (hose little traversed districts known as the "back blocks," the author was shocked by the atrocities perpetrated upon the Aus-, tralian blacks. The story is an exceedingly interesting one. Its opening scene it laid in Auckland, where the hero, Claude Angland, first hears the intelligence of the death of his uncle, a noted Australian explorer, in North Queensland, from whom he receiver a mysterious packet, containing , a letter written in ink bhaC ia only made visible by the application of chemicals. Some difficulty ia experienced in discovering the key, but when found it announces the discovery of a rich goldbearing reef and urges Claude to search for it, guided by a black boy who had been for many years the faithful companion of the dead explorer. Claude at once enters upon' the dangerous and almost hopeless quest, and in the course of his search has many thrilling adventures. The pictures of Australian life and scenery in a rising goldfield, upon oub stations, and in the untrodden wilds, are admirably drawn, and the characters introduced interest the readet and excite strong feelings of sympathy or repulsion. One gefce a better and altogether more humane idea of the Australian black in this book than perhaps any other work on the subject published since Sir George Grey issued his narratire of Australian exploration fifty years ago. We have no don be that the work, which is published in strong boards, at the low price of two shillings, will meet, with a very large sale in this colony.
