In the course of his travela through the Australian wilds the author was shocked by the acrocittes perpetraced upon the Australian Hlack3. Tnc pictures of Australian life and scenery in a lining goldfleld, upon out stations, and in the untrodden wiida, are admirably drawn, and the characters introduced interest the reader and excite etrong feelings of sympathy or repulsion. One gets a better aiid altogether more humane idea of the Australian black in this book than perhaps any other work on Hie subject published since Sir George Grey issuea hie narrative of Australian exploration nfty years ago.
