Part 24

“My chief object being to depict Victoria, not as she was, but, as she is now, I shall not trouble the reader with long narrations of early history. These have been earnestly and copiously given by the industry of Mr. Bonwick in his recent publications.”--Mr. Westgarth’s “Victoria.”

The Wild White Man and the Blacks of Victoria.

Two Shillings.

“Mr. James Bonwick, late Inspector of Schools in Victoria, and whose name will be familiar to very many of our readers, has just published a second edition of his very interesting book, ‘The Wild White Man and the Blacks of Victoria.’ Mr. Bonwick is too highly respected in this colony to need further aid from us now than the statement that he has issued this new edition, and that the publishers are Messrs. Fergusson and Moore, Flinders lane east.”--Melbourne Argus, 6th November, 1863.

“The style is always terse and pointed, and it has uniformly the most resistless charm of playful ease and the utmost simplicity. Australian scenery is painted with the pencil of an enthusiast, and the imaginative portions of the work are treated with rare descriptive power.”--Age.

“Mr. Bonwick is thoroughly in earnest, and tells his story with an air of generous enthusiasm, which alone invests what he has to say with an uncommon amount of interest.”--Ballaarat Star, Oct. 30.

Astronomy for Young Australians.

“This is Written in a thoroughly popular style, and has received the benefit of Mr. Ellery’s revision. This little work will doubtless enjoy, as its merits deserve, a large sale.”--Argus.

“We have met with no work which is so suitable for teaching Astronomy to our Australian youth as the one before us.”--Chronicle.

“The book is written in a most captivating style. It makes the story of our brilliant southern skies almost as interesting as a fairy tale. We hope this very meritorious book will be at once introduced into all our common schools, as it well deserves to be, since it supplies a want--a felt want.”--Weekly Review.

Grammar for Australian Youth.

“The Grammar is a superior book.”--Adelaide Examiner.

The Bushrangers; illustrating Early Days of Van Diemen’s Land.

“It exhibits a correct position of the state of society in earlier days.”--Hobart Town Colonial Times.

Western Victoria: its Geography, Geology, and Social Conditions.

“He has something to tell us; does it in easy, graceful, purpose-like style that is charming to us: A man who knows his work and does it.”--Christian Times.

“A most charming, readable book.”--Portland Guardian.
