By ERNEST SCOTT, Professor of History in the University of Melbourne, author of "Terre Napoleon" etc. With numerous portraits, maps, manuscripts in facsimile, etc. Cloth gilt, 21s. (_postage 6d._) THE BULLETIN: "Will take its place as one of the great biographies in our language. The inexplicable fact that hitherto no full biography of the first man to circumnavigate Australia has appeared is also a fortunate fact. Flinders has waited a century for his biographer, and it was worth this silence of a hundred years to find Ernest Scott.... And to this fervor of research must be added Ernest Scott's lucid literary style and his interest in the personal side of his subject. Equipment, style, sympathy, and his subject combine to make a brilliant achievement in biography.... A word must in mere justice be added in praise of the publishers. The appearance of the book is worthy of its contents." * * * * * _LIFE OF LAPEROUSE._ By PROFESSOR ERNEST SCOTT. With Chart of Voyages in the Pacific, and 13 illustrations. Cloth, 3s. 6d. (_postage 1d._) _For school edition see page 31._ This story of Laperouse's work as an explorer and his close association with Australia is a most important contribution to our history. The illustrations are from authentic sources and very interesting. * * * * * _A POPULAR GUIDE TO THE WILD FLOWERS OF NEW SOUTH WALES._ By FLORENCE SULMAN. Vol. I., with 51 full-page illustrations. Cloth, 3s. 6d. Vol. II., with 72 full-page illustrations. Cloth, 6s. (_postage 2d. each._) SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "This book can be taken into the bush, and by its aid practically any flower identified without previous knowledge of botany. It is a book that has been badly needed." * * * * * _SOME FAMILIAR AUSTRALIAN WILD FLOWERS._ Photographed by Mrs. A.E. SULMAN. Paper cover, 2s. (_postage 1d._) _AUSTRALIAN WILD FLOWERS: Second Series._ Photographed by Mrs. A.E. SULMAN. Paper cover, 2s. (_postage 1d._) These are the best representation by photography of Australian wild flowers, and are particularly suitable for sending to friends abroad. * * * * * _THE PLANTS OF NEW SOUTH WALES: An Analytical Key to the Flowering Plants (except Grasses and Rushes) and Ferns of the State, with a list of native plants discovered since 1893._ By W.A. DIXON, F.I.C., F.C.S. With Glossary
