He has therefore reworked his material for French readers and added a final chapter, in which he discusses whether it is for the interest of France to ally herself with Germany, as this Emperor seems to invite her to do, in an attempt to break the English power, or whether France should make advances to England in order to lay the foundation of a Franco-Russian-English alliance. But the political interest is secondary and the home-life of the

A story of South Africa and the Zulu war. Lorraine is an English trader, and has the reputation of selling guns and ammunition to the savages. A halfbrother who had injured him in England comes off with the arms, and upon discovering Lorraine procures his arrest. He escapes, however, and seeks safety with the Zulus. The brother is taken in a fight and crucified upon a tree and left to the mercies of buzzards and lions. Lorraine returns and releases him, and then departs for unknown lands.

The ex-Treasurer of South Australia has chosen the form of romance to insure a wider circle of readers for this history of the colonization of Australia. He maintains that "never have so few pioneers done more in the brilliant annals of British colonization." He specially brings out the notable part in the work taken by fragile and gently nurtured women. Though his pen is not untrammelled, he manages to show how much bloodshed and many hardships might have been spared the colonists by a more conciliatory policy with the savage aborigines. The descriptions of scenery are highly poetic.
