Baker (Sir Samuel W.) {continued)— 



CAST UP BY THE SEA ; or, The Adventures of Ned Grey. 

 By Sir Samuel W. Baker, M.A., F.R.G.S. Second Edition. 

 Crown 8vo. cloth gilt, ^s. dd. 



" 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. 



Barker (Lady).— station life in new Zealand. 



By Lady Barker. Crown 8vo. "js. 6d. 



" These letters are the exact account of a lady's experience of the brighter 

 and less practical side of colonization. They record the expeditions, ad- 

 ventures, and emergencies diversifying the daily life of the wife of a New 

 Zealand sheepfamier ; and, as each was written while the novelty and 

 excitement of the scenes it describes were fresh upon her, they may succeed 

 in giving here in England an adequate impression of the delight and free- 

 dom of an existence so far removed from our own highly-wrought civiliza- 

 tion^' — Preface. 



Baxter (R. Dudley, M.A.).— the TAXATION OF THE 

 UNITED KINGDOM. By R. Dudley Baxter, M.A. 8vo. 

 cloth, 4f. 6a'. 



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.
