■■ If the book were not written with so much circumstantial detail we would iv-illingly believe that something had been .acrificed to sensation. It is hard to realise that the wholesale massacres of blacks— Tien, women, and children—here described, are wholly accurate, or that licenses are granted to men to shoot 'Myalls' (wild Slacks) on sight; or even that a native ' boy' can be bought in Queensland towns for a sovereign or two.
