STORM AND SUNSHINE IN SOUTH AFRICA. 
By Rosamond Southey. Edited by Frances Slaughter. With 
Illustrations. Demy 8 vo. 
This book has the 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 Southey has been able to make the most of 
her unusual gifts of observation, both in describing 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 8 vo. 
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 
China, and has travelled throughout the length and breadth of the Chinese 
Empire. His book, although primarily dealing with the ‘ ‘ Cinderella of the 
British 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 acquiring an intimate knowledge 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.
