GOLDEN SOUTH AFRICA; OR,

THE GOLD FIELDS RE-VISITED.

BY EDWARD P. MATHERS, F.R.G.S.

The Daily News says:-"A very good survey of the country and its history, from a mining point of view.'

The Morning Post says:-"In 'The Gold Fields Re-visited,' Mr. Edward P. Mathers, F.R.G.S., has revised and enlarged his valuable communications on the Gold Fields of South Africa. The book contains much information and sound advice, and gives a correct view of the present condition of the South African gold-bearing regions."

The Financial News says:-"Will form a favourite work of reference on the auriferous properties of the Transvaal. . Will be eagerly studied by shareholders in the different mines. The Kaap district, the Komatie Fields, the Swazieland Mines, Lydenburg and Witwatersrand, Malmani, and so forth, are all thoroughly studied and described, the whole being lightened with pleasant touches, illustrative of manners and customs-Boer, Native and European-of socia! life, and of the political aspect of the influx of miners into these regions." Money says:-"The work which has been so much desiderated by everyone interested in South African affairs has at last appeared.

W. B. WHITTINGHAM and CO.'S PUBLICATIONS.

The historian and contemporary chronicler of Transvaal gold mining has arisen in the person of a well-known South African journalist, Mr. Edward P. Mathers, of Durban. A chief merit of the work is the unmistakable air of candour and truthfulness that pervades every page, a quality that greatly enhances its value to the mining investor and promoter. At every stage in his journey he simply presents a literary photograph of what he saw going on."

PERTHSHIRE IN BYGONE DAYS

One Hundred Biographical Essays. By P. R.
DRUMMOND, F.S.A.

The Nonconformist says: "The volume is simply full of the raciest material, on the whole well laid out, and cannot fail to prove of interest to many beyond the circle of Perthshire men into whose hand it may have the good fortune to come. Mr. Drummond had no purpose to serve in writing the book beyond giving vent to his wide knowledge and his love of the subject. He was a bookseller in Perth, and it is evident that to nothing in literature or in human life was he indifferent. All the notables he knew; and he treasured up ana year by year simply because it fell in with his tastes and enjoyments to do so . . The book is full of delicious morsels." The Athenæum says: "It contains a great deal of sound sense, and many amusing stories."

Second Edition. 440 pages. Post 8vo. Cloth. Price 7s. 6d. CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM AND

THE NEGRO RACE.

BY EDWARD W. BLYDEN, LL.D., Author of "Liberia's Offering," and "From West Africa to Palestine." With an Introduction by the HON. SAMUEL LEWIS, Barrister-at-Law, and Member of the Legislative Council of Sierra Leone.

Mr. R. Bosworth Smith, in the "Nineteenth Century," says:One of the most remarkable books I have ever met. It is in the pages of Mr. Blyden's book that the great dumb, dark continent has at last begun to speak, and in tones which, if I mistake not, even those who most differ from his conclusions will be glad to listen to and wise to ponder. If ever any one spoke upon his special subject with a right to be heard upon it, it is Mr. Blyden, and for this simple reason that his whole life has been a preparation for it."

.

The Literary World says:-"This book is an invaluable one, and contains information about the Negro and his relations to Mohammedanism and Christianity, which we should have great difficulty in procuring elsewhere. Dr. Blyden is a very earnest and competent writer."

The St. James's Gazette says:-"This is a remarkable and important book upon a great subject which has hitherto received but
