Cape Colony for the Elettler. By A. R. E. Burton.

(P. S. King and Son. 2s. 6d. net.)—This volume is "issued by order of the Government of the Cape Colony." The reader, there- fore, will know what he has. He may rely on the facts, the statistics, for instance ; but he will have to exercise his judgment on them. The Cape Colony wants population ; the immigrant must consider what he wants, and where he is likely to get it. If he is a farmer, for instance, he will study, among other things, the tables of "rain-fall," the agricultural returns of crops and average produce, the rate of wages, &c. On these and many other things this volume supplies information.
