A BIG PARISH
"The Boundary Rider" completes a trilogy of which R. B. Plowman may be justifiably pro.ud. The picture he has here given of his hundred thousand square miles of "parish"l has all the intimate actuality and vividness of his other .books. It has the same fine atmosphere, the same good portraiture, the same illuminating detail, that have made "The Man from Oodnadatta" and "Camel Pads" the most informative, the homeliest, the most detailed, and therefore the truest and best pictures of Central Australia and its inhabitants that have been published.
In the four thousand miles' journey, by buggy and pair, occupying eight months, Mr. Plowman visited practically every homestead, every lonely family, every solitary boundary-rider, every bore party within his parish. Of all, and their work, he has something interesting, something unusual, or something amusing to say.
