This book has ihc merit of being written from the inside of the political 

 and social life of South Africa. With near relatives holding important posts 

 in the Government of Cape Colony, and with many relations and friends holding 

 appointments in the country, Miss Southe)' has been able to make the most of 

 her unusual gifts of observation, both in dcscriljing the life at Cape Town and 

 in the up-country towns and farms. An expedition made by her sister, Mrs. 

 Bruce Steer, alone through Zululand, and her experiences duringthe late war, 

 are also given. General Sir John Dartnell, K.C.B., C.M.G., and Colonel 

 George Mansel, C. M.G., contribute accounts of fishing and lion-shooting 

 expeditions, and the history of the Nongai, or Zululand Native Police, as well 

 as of the Natal Police.

LION AND DRAGON IN NORTHERN CHINA. 



By R. F. Johnston, M.A. (Oxon.), F.R.G.S., District Officer and 

 Magistrate, Weihaiwei ; Formerly Private Secretary to the Governor 

 of Hong-Kong, etc. ; Author of " From Peking to Mandalay," With 

 Map and Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 15s. net. 



In this book will be found the only full description that exists of the British 

 dependency of Weihaiwei — the three hundred square miles of Chinese territory 

 that have been under British control since 1898. The author, the District 

 Officer and Magistrate of Weihaiwei, has seen service in both south and north 

 ("hina, and has travelled throughout the length and breadth of the Chinese 

 Empire. His book, although primarily dealing with the " Cinderella of the 

 l?ritish Empire," practically touches the whole relations of Europeans to 

 Chinamen in their own land. Mr. Johnston's practical experience in the 

 country, the nature of his official duties, and his knowledge of the language 

 have given him unique opportunities for accjuiring an intimate knosvledge of 

 the Chinese people and their customs. Much of the information given in these 

 pages has been collected from various historical and topographical works in 

 the Chinese language, but the greater part has been gathered at first hand in 

 the course of several years' residence among the people. Lovers of folk-lore, 

 students of sociology and of comparative religions, as well as of the condition 

 and destiny of the people of China, should find in this book much that is new 

 and of permanent value.
