The best stories and sketches yet written of 'the different South' are written here."

On Our Selection By Arthur h. Davis ("Steele Rudd" )
"It is a book of tears and laughter, of disaster and delight, of failure and success. It in amazingly human, and incomparably the liveliest and truest picture of pioneering life in Australia ever penned." THIS is possibly the most popular of all the books that have been made from the pages of The 'Bulletin. The author has been honoured by an affidavit of thanks, signed by a whole township; at far-back Queensland festivities it is the custom to read chapters of his book between the dances; and from many a struggling, cheerful, courageous denizen of the Back Blocks has come the testimony that "On Our Selection" is (adv.) good and (adv.) true. " On Our Selection " is handsomely bound in fawn cloth, with red edges and decorated cover. There are about eighty illustrations by A. J. Fischer, A. H. Fullwood, G. W . Lambert, Fred Leist, Frank Mahony, and Alf Vincent. 'Price, 6s. Hi.
