Harry Treverton : his Tramps and Travels. By Himself. Edited

by Lady Broome. (George Rontledge and Sons.)—A young man unexpectedly finds himself stranded, without any money, on the Western coast of Australia. His adventures while searching for work, and the story of his life on an Australian farm, will afford some very interesting reading. Life in Australia some thirty years ago was not unlikely to result in a few strange adventures, and boys will be pleased to find that Harry Treverton was no exception to the ordinary rule in this respect. The book is written in a simple and graphic style, and is likely to please readers of all ages. Furthermore, it has the advantage of being edited by Lady Broome, who has herself given us some charming stories of a similar kind.
