SOME EXPERIENCES OF A 



NEW GUINEA RESIDENT 



MAGISTRATE 



By Capt. C. A. W. MONCKTON 



F.R.G.S., F.Z.S., F.R.A.I. 



With numerous Illustrations 

 FOURTH EDITION. Demy 8vo. 21s. net 



There can be no question of the value of this book, for no book 

 of its nature has been so direct, so dramatic, and so convincing. The 

 author is candid to an unusual degree. He does not attempt to 

 whitewash his own actions or flatter his superior officers. He is 

 frank and fearless, giving a most lively picture of the difficulties, 

 hardships and perplexities of the strong type of English official in 

 dealing with savage races on the fringes of the Empire. 



ROBERT LYND in the Daily News. "Captain Monckton has a lively pen. He has 

 enjoyed his life among savages . . . and his book is written with the zest of a schoolboy. 

 ... A frank and cheerful book." 



Times Literary Supplement. " Mr. Monckton has written a boy's book for men. In it 

 something happens on every page. . . . It is a long book, though not a page too long." 



Daily Mail. " A book of entrancing interest for boys and their fathers. It is a plain and 

 a true one, and is stranger than fiction. The most remarkable book of travel and exploration 

 since Stanley's 'Darkest Africa.'"
