Bush Luck. By W. H. Timperley. (Religious Tract Society.) —Readers

of Bush Luck will get a fair notion of what the life of a squatter means, at least the best sides of a squatter's life. Things go fairly easily with the hero, but, on the whole, there are some wholesome bits of advice for those who think squatting all " beer and skittles," and that, because they are countrymen, they can ride over broken ground and find their way in the bush. The best things in the book are the yarns, and the rest serves only to string them together in a somewhat clumsy way.
