By Sir SAMUEL W. BAKER, M.A., F.R.G.S. With Portraits,

Maps, and Illustrations. Third Edition, 8vo. 218. Sir Saniucl Baker here describes twelve months' exploration, during which he examined the rivers that are tributary to the Nile from ribyssinia, including the Atbara, Setiite, Koran, Saham, Angrab, Rahad, Dinder, and the Blue Nile. The interest attachal to these portions of Africa differs entirely from that of the Ilhite like raions, as the whole of Irper top and Abyssinia is capable of daclopment, and is inhabited by rices haring some degree of civilization; while Central Africa is perflat by a race of sarvages, whose future is more problematical.

Baker (Sir Samuel W.) (continued)-
CAST UP BY THE SEA ; or, The Adventures of Neo Grey.

By Sir SAMUEL W. BAKER, M.A., F.R.G.S. Second Edition.
Crown 8vo. cloth gilt, 75. 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 'Masternian 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.

75. 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, ad. centures, and emergencies diversifying the daily life of the wife of a New Zealand sheip-farmer; and, as each was written while the nozelty and excitement of the scenes it describes were fresh upon her, they may succeed in gir'ing here in England an adequate impression of the dilight and freedom of an existence so far removed from our own highly-ai rought 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 raad before the Statistical Society of London, deals with the Amount of Taxıtion ; the Second Part, which no constitutes the main portion of the work, is almost entirely new, and embraces the important questions of Rating, of the relative Taxation of Land, Personally, 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, inacpendently of the transitory circumstances of its present Taxation.
