SECTION I.

HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY, and TRAVELS. Baker (Sir Samuel W.).—THE NILE TRIBUTARIES OF ABYSSINIA, and the Sword Hunters of the Hamran Arabs. By SIR SAMUEL W. BAKER, M.A., F. R.G.S. With Portraits, Maps, and Illustrations. Third Edition, 8vo. 215.

Sir Samuel Baker here describes twelve months' exploration, during which he examined the rivers that are tributary to the Nile from Abyssinia, including the Athara, Settite, Royan, Salaam, Angrab, Rahad, Dinder, and the Blue Nile. The interest attached to these portions of Africa differs entirely from that of the White Nile regions, as the whole of Upper Egypt and Abyssinia is capable of development, and is inhabited by races having some degree of civilization; while Central Africa is peopled by a race of savages, whose future is more problematical.

"Bruce won the source of the Blue Nile: Speke and Grant won the Victoria source of the great White Nile; and I have been permitted to succeed in completing the Nile Sources by the discovery of the great reservoir of the equatorial waters, the Albort Njanza, from which the river issues as the entire White Nile."-PREFACE.

Baker (Sir Samuel W.) (continued) —

CAST UP BY THE SEA; or, The Adventures of Ned Grey. By SIR SAMUEL W. Baker, M.A., F.R.G.S. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth gilt, 7s. 6d.

A story of adventure by sea and land in the good old style. It appears to us to be the best book of the kind since ‘Masterman Ready,' and it runs that established favourite very close."-PALL MALL Gazette.

"No book written for boys has for a long time created so much interest, or been so successful. Every parent ought to provide his boy with a copy." DAILY TELEGRAPH.

Barker (Lady).—STATION LIFE IN NEW ZEALAND. By LADY BArker. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.

"These letters are the exact account of a lady's experience of the brighter and less practical side of colonization. They record the expeditions, adventures, and emergencies diversifying the daily life of the wife of a New Zealand sheep-farmer; and, as each was written while the novelty and excitement of the scenes it describes were fresh upon her, they may succeed in giving here in England an adequate impression of the delight and freedom of an existence so far removed from our own highly-wrought civilization."-PREFACE.

Baxter (R. Dudley, M.A.).-THE TAXATION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. By R. DUDLEY BAXTER, M.A. Svo. cloth, 45. 6d.

The First Part of this work, originally read before the Statistical Society of London, deals with the Amount of Taxation; the Second Part, which now constitutes the main portion of the work, is almost entirely new, and embraces the important questions of Rating, of the relative Taxation of Land, Personalty, and Industry, and of the direct effect of Taxes upon Prices. The author trusts that the body of facts here collected may be of permanent value as a record of the past progress and present condition of the population of the United Kingdom, inaependently of the transitory circumstances of its present Taxation.
