The publishers sent a few copses to Australia, and 17 had already been sold, when the Australian agent received peremptory orders,to stop sales and.get back by some means the copies' that 'had been sold. Further instructions came ordering certain pages to be cut out, and certain other pages, which were sent, bound up in their place. The proceedings .have aroused great interest, as well as surrounding the <new volume with an air of mystery.
