Some Experiences of a New Guinea Resident Magistrate
CHAPTER XXVII
Since the writing of the last chapter much has happened; war has broken out, and I must go and fight in Kitchener’s Army. I had intended to conclude my book with a description of the ascent of Mount Albert Edward, and journey right across New Guinea from Kaiser Wilhelm’s Land to the Gulf of Papua. Both these expeditions were full of interest: men who wore wooden armour, a huge new mammal, prehistoric pottery, all had their part. Perhaps if this book proves of interest to people and all goes well, I may write an account of these expeditions at a later date.

THE END
Unconducted Wanderers.
By ROSITA FORBES. Demy 8vo. With over 70 Illustrations from Photographs by the Author and others. =12s. 6d.= net.
“Unconducted Wanderers” is a very amusing travel book of the best sort. After a spell of war work the author and a woman friend went to America, and thence to the South Seas, to Java, the Malay States, Siam, Cambodia, China and Korea. The book is extremely lively in tone and fresh in feeling, and the observations and experiences of the travellers, particularly in China during the Rebellion, are of quite unusual interest.
_Evening Standard._--“Those in search of the perfect companion for a lazy afternoon in a hammock will find their wants admirably supplied by ‘Unconducted Wanderers.’ Their adventures are retailed with an unfailing humorous touch, and the scenery and occupants of these far foreign strands are painted in descriptive language, which is always vivid and at times beautiful.”
_Westminster Gazette._--“Happily and frankly instructive--just gossip, compounded of observation, humour and the joy of the experience. Such a book is good to read.”
_Times._--“There is a freshness of its own in Mrs. Forbes’ writing due to her zest of life, and to the vivid manner in which she sets down the impressions that come crowding upon her.”
A Dweller in Mesopotamia.
By DONALD MAXWELL, author of “Adventures with a Sketch-Book,” “The Last Crusade,” etc. With numerous Illustrations by the Author in colour, half-tone and line. Crown 4to. =£1 5s. 0d.= net.
In “The Last Crusade” Lieut. Donald Maxwell gave us an extremely entertaining account of the Holy Land: in this volume we have the very necessary corollary in a vivid description of Mesopotamia. In this, as in the former book, Mr. Maxwell is able to deduce interesting parallels between the days of the Old Testament and modern times, and he has drawn for us delightful sketches of the “Mouth of Hell,” the Garden of Eden, Babylon and other strange places. Although Mr. Maxwell was official artist to the Admiralty, this is no war book, for he was sent out rather too late to follow the campaign, a fact for which Mr. Maxwell’s readers will be thankful, as he was thus able to follow his own tastes and to see the country in a fairly normal condition.
Macedonia--A Plea for the Primitive.
By A. GOFF and DR. HUGH A. FAWCETT. With Drawings in colour, pencil and line. Demy 8vo. =£1 1s. 0d.= net.
Since the days of Alexander (and probably before) Macedonia has vied with Flanders for the unenviable reputation of being the cock-pit of Europe. Centuries of subjection to the unspeakable Turk has interrupted the march of civilization--especially as regards the outward and material side of things. The result is that people now inhabiting the land are primitive to a degree unknown elsewhere in Europe, and that their domestic arrangements, their general mode of living, their utensils and implements, are much the same as they were thousands of years ago. These people, then, and their country form an intensely interesting study, but, unfortunately the tourist and the antiquary cannot with safety visit them.
During the war, however, it was the privilege of the authors of this book to be able to explore this unknown land very thoroughly, and Mr. Goff’s most interesting account of it, together with Dr. Fawcett’s extremely clever drawings, form a volume of unique value.
The Diary of a Sportsman Naturalist in India.
By E. P. STEBBING. Profusely illustrated from photographs and sketches by the Author. Demy 8vo. =£1 1s.= net.
_The Times._--“He knows how to tell his experiences with pith and point, and his jungle lore is set out so as to appeal both to the novice and the initiate.... As a faithful account of conditions as they have been during the last quarter of a century Mr. Stebbing’s book is likely to have a definite and permanent value; and he knows well how to entertain as well as to instruct.”
Topee and Turban, or Here and There in India.
By Lieut-Col. H. A. NEWELL, I.A. With Illustrations from photographs. Demy 8vo. =16s.= net.
Col. Newell’s guide-books to the various provinces of India are well known, but in the present volume he shows that it is not only Indian Geography with which he is conversant. He is equally at home with the History of India, with its Art and Mythology, its folk-lore, Religions, and its numerous races--whether it be in Kashmir or the Deccan.
The present book, which is very profusely illustrated with reproductions from photographs, is the record of numerous motor tours through the various provinces, in each of which Col. Newell tells us what is worth seeing--the landscape, or architecture, or for historic association, while he tells us all about the races who inhabit each particular district.
