CONTENTS.--Our Earliest Ancestors and their Beliefs. The
Nature and Province of Poetry. Literature, Science and Education.
Culture and Cant. The Teachings of History. The Teachings of
Travel. Literary Judgment.

"This book is singularly well named. The last lecture of literary
judgment is particularly interesting and valuable. It is full of

study of 'that literature which maketh a full man,' and which must

"These seven essays are distinctively worth while. We especially commend
his essay on the Teachings of History, which is packed with wisdom, to
every one who is seriously interested in the science of politics."

"In Australia he should be known as a public benefactor. The volume
before us being nothing less than a contribution to the
Commonwealth."--_The Athenaeum._

Fancy a woman with a powerful, perhaps somewhat morbid imagination, with
intense emotions, with a tendency to brood over all that is sad in the
human lot; and finally, with the power to concentrate a whole panorama
