One or two of these are short and topical, as, for instance, that addressed to wounded Australian soldiers. Some are full of a lofty ideal of free- dom ; some put forward the speaker's opinions on practical and material questions of trade, Ste. Others combine the two types. Though a few of them were delivered in Australia, nearly all were addressed to English, Scots, or Welsh audiences.—Mr. Hughes's admirers will also find a great deal that they will like to know in a short biography written by Mr. S. W. Sprigg, W. M. Hughes (Pearson, is. net).
