The Story of the Life of Mackay of Uganda, told

for Boys. By his Sister. (Hodder and Stoughton.)—It is needless to describe the contents of this book. Though not the same as "Mackay of Uganda," they are in substance well known, the record of a heroic life. Mackay of Uganda stands high on the list of the pioneers of religion and civilisation in Africa for courage, single- mindedness, and devotion. His life forms an admirable story. Young readers should find it as interesting as any tale of adven- ture. Nor should it fail to stir up, in some at least, the desire to go and do likewise.
