THE SQUATTER'S DREAM.
Saturday Review -- "It is not often that stories of colonial life
are so interesting as Mr. Boldrewood's `Squatter's Dream'.
There is enough story in the book to give connected interest
to the various incidents, and these are all told with considerable spirit
and at times picturesqueness."
Field -- "The details are filled in by a hand evidently well conversant
with his subject, and everything is `ben trovato', if not actually true.
A perusal of these cheerfully-written pages will probably give
a better idea of realities of Australian life than could be obtained
from many more pretentious works."
A SYDNEY-SIDE SAXON.
Glasgow Herald -- "The interest never flags, and altogether
`A Sydney-Side Saxon' is a really refreshing book."
Anti-Jacobin -- "Thoroughly well worth reading. . . . A clever book,
admirably written. . . . Brisk in incident, truthful and lifelike
in character. . . . Beyond and above all it has that stimulating
hygienic quality, that cheerful, unconscious healthfulness,
which makes a story like `Robinson Crusoe', or `The Vicar of Wakefield',
so unspeakably refreshing after a course of even good contemporary fiction."
A COLONIAL REFORMER.
Athenaeum -- "A series of natural and entertaining pictures
of Australian life, which are, above all things, readable."
Glasgow Herald -- "One of the most interesting books about Australia
we have ever read."
Saturday Review -- "Mr. Boldrewood can tell what he knows
with great point and vigour, and there is no better reading
than the adventurous parts of his books."
