"_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_.

THE TAXATION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. By _R. Dudley Baxter_, M.A. 8vo.
cloth, 4_s_. 6_d_.

_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, independently of the
transitory circumstances of its present Taxation._

NATIONAL INCOME. With Coloured Diagrams. 8vo. 3_s_. 6_d_.
