British and Transvaal laws and constitutions : a comparison

DURING the late General Election, Mr. Herbert Spencer, writing to the Right Hon. Leonard Courtney with reference to the war, made the suggestion that « A Comparison should be made between the constitution and doings of the socalled Boer oligarchy and the oligarchy which existed in England prior to the Reform Bill of 1832, and it should be widely circulated and emphasised."

The boy's own handbook : angling

Now, my lads, for a day's fishing ; but first I must tell you a little about angling, and the requisites necessary for the sport. In a rude state of society, angling was resorted to from necessity. This occupation soon became an amusement for those who had leisure enough to spend time in it, as it affords to most people much pleasure. We find occasional allusions to this pursuit among the Gr…

Tales from the Middle Kingdom : Stories of China

The stories collected in this little book have for the most part been taken from the pages of the magazine, “Messages of Love.” Many of these stories were originally written for this magazine, either by Mrs. Willis or different members of her family, and are those things which they have seen and heard.

Polly, an opera : being the sequel to The Beggar's Opera now freely adapted b…

In perusing the lyrics of this play the reader will be distressed by many graceless irregularities of rhythm. A long apprenticeship to the craft of making words fit music has convinced me that the more precisely they follow the musical pattern the more disagreeable they are to read. I trust that the reader whose ear is offended by a line that is too long or by one that slips away tooflowingly w…
