mO BE PUBLISHED ON MAY 16th. " THE LIFE AND TIMES OF SIR GEORGE GREY.' BY W. L. AND LILY REES. The publisher of the above highly-interesting work has very great pleasure in announcing that the book will be ready for issue on May 16th. Sir George Grey's life has been unique in the annals of living statesmen. Its story reads like a romacco, rather than a biography. Commencing his public career as an explorer in Western Australia has subsequently administered the affairs of South Australia, New Zealand, and Cape Colony at the most critical period in the history of these colonies. There were then neither cables nor steam mail services to keap the Governor in touch with the Imperial authorities, and he had to rely entirely upon his own judgment and resources. It was under these circumstances that Sir George Grey had successively to cope with financial disaster in South Australia, native insurrection in New Zealand and Kaffir disturbances at Cape Colony. The authors have had exceptional opportunities for gathering the facts of Sir George Grey's remarkable career. Intimate personal communication with theex-Governorandstatos-man has enabled them to set out his remarkable figure in bold relief, and they have been able by direct reforence to ascertain the inner history of many evnnts of sreat historical importance, and to coliect a large fund of interesting personal reminiscences. The book has been written in popular style iind should command a very large sale. Orders should be forwarded at once. H. BRETT. P_ublish_er._ STANDARD INSURANCE COMPANY.
