. "Circumstances have led me unwillingly to believe that Miss Sterling may be impatient of the restraints which the fact of her betrothal imposes upon her actions, and would not, perhaps, regret if such were removed. The liberty to make another and a better choice, at this moment, I doubt not, would also be peculiarly grateful to her, and might soon be improved. I have merely to remark, that if such be her wish, the love which I have ever cherished for her is not of the selfish nature as to withhold that which she so much desires; and she is therefore at liberty to consider herself free from all exclusive restraint on the part of myself; while still my best wishes shall extend to her happier prospects. I remain her very obedient servant,

FREDERICK MOULTON."

This he despatched at an early hour toward its destination, and then began to speculate upon the mortification and alarm which it would, of course, occasion in the breast of Florence. Being still confident, notwithstanding his affected jealousy, that she loved him deeply and devotedly, he looked upon his course of procedure merely as a punishment for her improper spirit, and he also confidently supposed that she would submissively receive it as such. He even anticipated that his revenge would be doubly gratified by her usual course of conciliation and self-sacrifice ; but he had forgotten the adage that there is a certain point where forgiveness ceases to be a virtue.

Florence received the note and read it, while her breast swelled with indignant emotions. Her lips curled with scorn, and her eyes flashed with excitement at this climax to his indignities; while she crushed the ungrateful and insulting message in her hand, and threw it from her with contempt. Her patience was exhausted, and could endure the trials imposed upon it no longer; and she now resolved to banish from her heart every remaining vestige of love for him which still clung feebly around its tendrils. She very naturally wept for a time; but when her feelings became once more calm, she reflected that there was quite as little reason of regret at this abrupt termination of their engagement as she had given cause for it; though her pride was naturally mortified at being thus cast off when hers alone was the grievance. But as the dismissal came from Moulton it would save her from the reproach of inconstancy which she had so long and so much feared.

To her extreme surprise, however, not long after she received a visit from the author in person, who came humble and penitent to crave her pardon, and repair, if possible, the error he had committed. He had himself been struck with alarm and remorse while reflecting upon the consequences of his rash act, and the fear very properly came across his mind that Florence might possibly see fit to accept of his generous releasement. He could not deny but that the act of itself gave her sufficient reason for so doing, even setting aside the probability of her still remaining offended at his behavior on the previous evening, and he now began to reflect upon his conduct with deep regret. He, therefore, acknowledged his unkindness and injustice with abject sorrow; and implored her by every passionate entreaty to forgive and forget his past actions, and receive him once more into favor—pledging himself by the most solemn vows never to give her in his life another cause of regret or sorrow.

Florence listened without interrupting him, while her bosom heaved with sympathy for his grief. She pitied his pangs of regret; but she felt that she could not in justice to herself give them relief. She had striven with the last remnant of passion once cherished for him, and subdued it ; and when he had finished and waited in doubt and fear for her decision, she calmly informed him that all his errors were forgiven, and she would likewise strive to forget them. But she could do nothing further. "Their long continuance," she said, "had weakened and subdued the whole strength of the love she once cherished for him; and it was now chastened down to a feeling more akin to that of friendship, which she might ever feel for him; but nothing more."

"You are well aware, Frederick," she continued in a sad voice, while tears gushed involuntarily from her downcast eye-lids, "that when I gave you my consent to become your wife, I loved you with a deep and burning passion. You cannot doubt it even now, changed as that feeling is. But you, Frederick, are far more changed; at least, your conduct has been from what it appeared previous to that event. You were then-but I will forbear reproach, for your own heart, I doubt not, is fully sensible of all I would say."

"It is, Florence!" replied Moulton, with tremulous emotion, "deeply, painfully sensible of the wrongs which I have inflicted upon you, and bitterly repents. But believe me, that, notwithstanding my faults, I love you still most fervently; even though such would hardly seem to evince it. Why I have acted thus unkindly toward you I cannot tell, excepting that an evil spirit possessed me at the time and subverted my better reason . But that is past; and never, oh! never again shall you have cause to doubt my affection, while the endeavor of my future life shall be to atone for my injustice toward you. Give me back that hateful letter—forget the past, and be mine once more, dear Florence, and I will prove to you henceforth as true and affectionate as I have been unkind."

"It may not be, Frederick," replied Florence calmly and frankly; "my heart has lost that interest in you which is necessary to render our union happy. You gave of your own free will and accord, and because of your own fault, a release which I did not ever expect; and though the unkindness of the action is atoned for by your repentance, I feel constrained in the

 ed, gave a hollow groan, and opened his eyes: His fainting fit had been the effect of sudden terror, and he had not received the least hurt."

"He now told us that he had met in the dark with a long narrow passage which he had pursued, in a kind of insensibility, 'till he had staggered down from an elevated spot, when the boards suddenly giving way, dragged him along into the deep vault."

"Looking around we perceived that we were in a spacious cavern, which appeared to have been formerly a kind of stable. High over our heads were two large round holes, grated with strong iron bars, through which the day light was admitted, and after a closer examination we espied a gloomy outlet in a remote corner, shut up by a wooden door, which we forced open without difficulty: We now ascended, through a dark passage, higher and higher, 'till we at length with rapture beheld an outlet which opened into

168 present state of my feelings for many reasons to decline a renewal of our engagement. It is with pain, Frederick, that I do this, for I feel how deeply it will grieve you ; but the truth is that I have ceased to love, and never again can feel aught save friendship toward you."

It can be but faintly imagined how like an icy chill those last words fell upon the heart and hopes of the humbled lover—benumbing them with despair. It was a sentence which he little expected, and was less prepared to hear, for he was a firm believer in the unchanging nature of woman's affection. He would as resignedly have listened to a decree of immediate death ; for it was the knell to all his hopes of happiness. He remained silent for a few moments with his face buried in his hands, while his anguish appeared powerful and intense ; and then he arose to take his sad departure from the presence of her whom he had lost forever. As he did so he glanced into the eyes of Florence, to convince himself that it was not possible (as the thought for an instant flashed through his mind) that she was only submitting his feelings to a just, though agonizing ordeal ; but he was struck at their calmness, and become fully assured of his despair.

"Farewell, Florence," he said mournfully, taking her listless hand and pressing it with fervor, " farewell ! My hope is that you may be happy--though such henceforth can never be my portion, for my heart not having experienced unkindness from yours, shall never cease its love or regret. I cannot blame your resolution, for I am sensible that I have deserved my fate ; and my dearest wish is now that you may find--no, no, I cannot wish that. I would have said another heart--one more true and less ungrateful ; but my tongue refuses to give utterance to so unnatural and palpable a falsehood. But I can wish, however, that you may never again be deceived as you have been in me. Farewell."

As the door closed upon his departing footsteps, Florence again burst into tears, and wept long and freely. Her mind was agitated by mixed and undefinable sensations, but her heart felt relieved from the sickening pressure of its gloomy forebodings. Sympathy for Moulton's grief-timid apprehension that her conduct might appear unnatural in the eyes of others, combined with a modest doubt in the infallibility of her own judgment, filled her breast, and caused it to thrill with fears of having overstepped the bounds of prudence, or rashly performed an action of which she might, perhaps, hereafter repent. But the consciousness of such having to the last been forced upon her without cause or deserving-and of the propriety of her motives in thus refusing to place herself again in a position where she had experienced so much unmerited sorrow at length re-assured her, and she banished these doubts and regrets from her mind. Her spirits now began to recover their natural elasticity-the prospect of unhappiness seemed to vanish like a cloud from the sky of the future; and Hope resumed once more a dominion within her heart, from whence she had fled before the portentous ills which lowered around its joys.

A few years have passed, and Florence is now the happy wife of another ; and though the freshness of passion may be said to have been wasted, she sees little cause for regret at the change that occurred in her prospects, or at the decision she made to improve them. But Moulton remains still a bachelor, and often casts a sorrowful retrospection over the past. He strives, however, to excuse his conduct, in his own mind, by affecting to believe that it was all intended to test the quality of his expected wife's disposition, and the strength of her passion, but without avail ; for, though he feels conscious that he was innocent of cruel motives, he cannot deny that his actions at times wore an ungracious appearance, and Florence seemed also more pained than offended at his trials. But whether this arose from her extreme sensitiveness, or from the test having been too severe for endurance, he was not perfectly willing to decide. He has, however, changed his opinions entirely with regard to the undying nature of woman's love, and now often takes occasion to rail against it whenever he hears of a case in point ; asserting in a jocose manner that it possesses as peculiar a quality as is erroneously attributed to the feline race.

SWEETER than the night-wind's slumbers Sighed the serenade; Stealing over beauty's slumbers, Round her couch it strayed: Softly 'neath the moonbeams gleaming Over glen and glade, Passion-fraught from love's young dreaming, Rose the serenade.

'Mid her dreams a soft spell twining Sighed the serenade, When the spirit stars were shining, And the dewy glade Sparkled with the gems 't was pressing— On its bosom laid— Jealous of the winds caressing, Woke the serenade.

Tones of love and rapture flinging, Sighed the serenade; From the soft strings brightly winging, Through the air it strayed, "Till it swept o'er beauty sleeping, Then its wing delayed; And in love its bright soul steeping, Died the serenade.

"The dreary desolated court-yard appeared to us a paradise, the dazzling splendor of the bright morning sun, and the pure air which we now inhaled, filled our hearts with the strongest sensations of bliss. We congratulated each other on our resurrection from the dreary abode of mortality, where we were doomed to be entombed alive, and shook each other by the hand half frantic with joy.

"Do you know Templeton?" said a gentleman to his companion, as they rode into the Park, "yonder he goes on that spirited bay—too fine an animal by half for such a fellow."

"Slightly, but I never knew, Stanly, that you did not like him. I've always heard that he was a gentleman, and withal a clever companion."

"Oh! I knew him at the University, where he always affected learning. I hate your scholars as I hate the plague. And now he has set up for a fine gentleman, and a dandy, forsooth, the contemptible puppy.”

"Well, there is something in hearing both sides. I don't know him at all, but his friends say he is only a polished gentleman, and you magnify him into a fop. But, as you were classmates, you ought to know him."

"I do. And, by St. George, there he is at the side of my sister. Will he never cease his attentions to her? I'll bet any thing now he's a coward; and to settle it I shall insult him. He pay attention to Louisa!—I'll have a word to say on that point."

At the words Stanly spurred his horse forward, and soon reached his sister, who seemed deeply engaged in conversation with Templeton. The brother did not hesitate an instant, but seizing his sister's rein with some violence, he drew it from Templeton's hold, and in a voice in which passion had already attained the mastery, insisted on the other leaving her side.

Templeton looked confounded, and the young lady besought her brother, as eloquently as woman's eyes can speak, to desist, and, as a last resource, put her horse at a brisk canter, leaving the excited young gentlemen to settle the dispute as they best might ; but not without the most lively fears for the issue. Nor were those fears without foundation. Templeton soon evinced that he was not wanting in spirit, though the passion of Stanly forbade, from the first, any hope of an accommodation. Templeton, indeed, endured the insults of the brother as long as he could, seeming indisposed to quarrel with a relative of Louisa, but at length he was forced to take notice of Stanly's remarks, and high words ensued, which ended with a tacit understanding that the difficulty should be settled by a duel.

The night of the foregoing fracas, a large party had assembled at the house of a noble friend of one of the belligerent parties, at which Louisa Stanly chanced to be a guest, and hearing her own name frequently repeated in the course of conversation, her anxiety so far overcame her scruples, that she ventured to address a gentleman whom she observed had but lately quitted a group of his companions, where it was plain to distinguish, her name formed the prominent subject of discussion.

"Ha!" exclaimed Captain Alcroft, acknowledging her salutation with a very polite bow, " it gives me sincere pleasure to meet you; I——"

"Captain," said the lady, " will you enlighten me as to the cause of my name being so much in request to-night ; wherever I turn I can distinguish nothing but my name, and some young ladies, whose party I left but now to accost you, are so mysteriously silent and ambiguous to my inquiries, that I really feel somewhat uncomfortable; pray tell me, is it any thing in which my brother is concerned?"

"Why—yes—that is, your brother and Templeton. You know Lawrence Templeton?"

"Oh, dear me, yes," said the fair girl, recalling to mind the afternoon's ride, and trembling for the result of her inquiries. "What of Templeton, Captain?"

"Why," said her companion, humorously, "that I think him, notwithstanding the effeminate graces he sometimes puts on, to be a deuced pleasant fellow; and what does Miss Stanly think ?" said the Captain, archly.

"Oh, that he is very well, certainly; but come, Captain, will you please to satisfy a lady's inquiries, or must I seek the information I wish elsewhere?"

The Captain apologised, and proceeded to narrate the afternoon's subsequent adventure, which was but just concluded, when, feigning slight indisposition as the cause, Miss Stanly ordered her carriage immediately, and ere it had been announced, the trembling young lady had eagerly descended to the hall, where she stood waiting its arrival, scarcely conscious of the presence of the numerous servants. "We couldn't get through the rank, Miss," said the footman, at length appearing, and respectfully touching his laced hat, in reply to her reproof at the delay. After giving the word "home," she sprang into the carriage, and a few moments afterward alighted at the family residence in——square. Louisa Stanly was a young lady with a highly cultivated mind, and had received an education commensurate with the position she held in society; she was at once accomplished and beautiful, and possessed of an equally susceptible nature. It cannot, therefore, be made a matter of surprise that one, young, handsome, and well-bred as Templeton, and, like herself, the possessor of a richly cultivated intellect, and a deportment highly polished from constant intercourse with the best society, should have made considerable advances in her youthful affections. There existed, indeed, a natural and a warm passion in the hearts of these lovers - a passion which, hitherto, had been kept secret from the families of either, and of which Stanly himself had never entertained the slightest idea until the unfortunate discovery and rencontre in the park.

Stanly was quietly seated at the breakfast table on VOL. II.- 22

"Very likely he is returned to the inn," said the Lieutenant, "and we shall find him there."

"We left that dangerous abode of black horror, praising God again and again for our deliverance."

"As we entered the inn we beheld the landlord surrounded by a number of villagers, who were come to inquire whether we were returned from the castle. They were very much surprised when we entered the room, and, respectfully taking off their hats, told us, that the uproar at the village last night had been more tremendous than ever. Every one was impatient to know the particulars of our adventure, but the Lieutenant having

 then no inclination of amusing himself with their simplicity, gave them a short answer, and asked the landlord where his servant was."

"I have not seen him since yesterday," replied he.

"It is impossible," resumed the Lieutenant, "where are the horses?"

"They are in the stable," replied the landlord, "I have just been looking after them."

"The Lieutenant gave us an apprehensive look, and begged the gaping peasants to look after him, all over the village and the adjacent places; they all were very willing to do it, and left the inn."

"It was nine o'clock when we entered the inn, and it struck twelve when our honest villagers returned, with the disagreeable news that they could find poor John no where."

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government recognises the importance of providing training and development to legal officers, to ensure that they are able to deliver services in line with the Commonwealth model litigant obligations.

The Australian Government Legal Service (AGLS) is the overarching, formal professional network for government lawyers. The AGLS supports coherent and consistent legal services across the Commonwealth and provides a professional network for collaboration including on training modules and legal standards. In addition, the Statement of Expectations of Australian Government Lawyers sets out the expectations of government lawyers and provides guidance for government lawyers in fulfilling their duties in a government context.

Services Australia will update its training packages and provide specific training to lawyers within the Litigation Branch on the Model Litigant Obligations under the Legal Services Directions 2017, as well as the Standing Operational Statement with the Department of Social Services (DSS).

DSS has also engaged with Services Australia and other agencies within the social services portfolio regarding the opportunities for shared training for legal staff across the social services portfolio. The initial focus of discussion will be for training in areas of legal ethics, obligations of in-house lawyers and principles of advice writing. In addition, all in-house lawyers admitted to practice are required to complete mandatory Continuing Legal Education and provide monthly reports of active significant matters.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government recognises the importance of this recommendation and supports the work presently underway within the Department of Social Service (DSS) and Services Australia to strengthen their processes and ensure greater transparency in the reporting of information relating to Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) cases to senior officers of both agencies.

618 ington, north of Snake River. These scablands have a history which is believed to be unique. The prevailing feature of their topography is indicated in the term here used: channeled scablands. They are scored by thousands of channels eroded in the underlying rock. The plateau in Washington, north of Snake River, has a total area of about 12,750 square miles, of which at least 2,000 square miles is channeled scabland. The scabland is widely distributed over the region in linear tracts among maturely dissected hills which bear the loessial soil (wheat lands) of the plateau.

The following features and relations of the scablands exist in all tracts. They must form the basis of any interpretation for the origin of channeled scabland. The map should be examined as this list is read.
 * 1) Scabland tracts are developed invariably on or in the Columbia basalt formation.
 * 2) Scabland tracts are invariably lower than the immediately adjacent soil-covered areas.
 * 3) Scabland tracts are invariably elongate.
 * 4) The elongation of scabland tracts is with the dip slope of the underlying basalt flows. There are eight known exceptions to this rule, all minor affairs so far as length is concerned.
 * 5) Scabland tracts, considered as units, invariably have continuous gradients.
 * 6) Scabland tracts are invariably bounded by maturely eroded topography.

 Identification and reporting on significant AAT decisions is governed by Services Australia and the Department of Social Services Standing Operational Statement. The Statement requires Services Australia to notify DSS of significant AAT decisions and provide monthly reporting of active matters.

DSS and Services Australia will consider the impact of the establishment of the new federal administrative review body on its processes for identifying significant matters and will further adjust any processes as required.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

On 29 September 2023, the Government announced that by the end of the year it will introduce legislation to abolish the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and replace it with a new body, the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART).

The Government is developing legislation to repeal the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 (Cth) and to establish the ART.

The legislation is being informed by public consultation with a wide range of stakeholders including the Expert Advisory Group on the administrative review reforms, representatives of the legal, disability, veterans, social security, migration and refugee sectors, and users of the current AAT.

The Government's proposed legislation to establish the new administrative review body will provide for decisions of the new administrative review body to be published, and will require the publication of decisions that involve a significant conclusion of law or have significant implications for Commonwealth policy or administration. Decisions could also be de-identified before being published if non-disclosure requirements and privacy considerations apply in a particular matter.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

 quoting inter alia the researches of Mr. Lawson Tait, he told as he had filled six soup plates with moss in water, and planted them last June with as many plants of Drosera as they would hold. Each plate was then superficially equally divided by a piece of wood, (a slip of zinc in a previous experiment haying killed the plants,) and the whole of the plates were exposed to precisely similar conditions as to light and air, and covered with the (now historical) gauze frame to prevent the access of insects. In July Mr. Darwin commenced and continued to feed all the plants on one side of ouch plate with roast beef, (raw meat kills.) in morsels weighing only 1-50th of a grain, taking great care none should fall into the surrounding moss and serve as manure. This is the result, and its accuracy is unquestioned:—The fed plants were individually and collectively larger, heavier, and greener, they threw up more flower stems which bore each a larger number of flowers. and a greater number of larger seeds, the proportion in weight of the seeds on the starved as compared with the fed side being as 100 to 379.7. Dr. Masters remarked that there could now be no doubt as to the absorption through leaves, and that the whole present theory of plant growth, involving largely the entire system of vegetable physiology, must be reconsidered, probably entirely changed. There was no attempt to contradict Mr. Darwin's facts, which are accepted by some of the greatest naturalists in the world, and another great era in change is imminent.—Dr. Darwin is so like 's etching of ' portrait, that I heartily commend that grandest of the etchings of this century to your readers.—The loss of Mr. Andrew Murray, the Entomologist, is munch greater than will be at once seen. His services to the Horticultural Society, and to the entomological collection at Bethnal Green are incalculable, and as an acquaintance or friend all who knew him deeply deplore him. He told me only a month ago that his second volume on Economic Entomology was in the press; but who will complete the series I do not know.—W. J. S.

. heave read with considerable interest the first article in your (may I say our) new Journal, on "Abnormal Ferns." The importance and value of this contribution, as an incentive to the practical study of vegetable development, has induced me toe offer a few friendly remarks on one point, which the composition of this article suggests, It is this: Assuming that the "Midland Naturalist" is intended to have a direct bearing on the progress of Science, all the articles it contains should be written, not merely in an attractive style—which should always be aimed at—but with rigid scientific accuracy as to the terms employed by its contributors. Confusion in terms leads to confusion of thought; and vice versa. The employment of entomological and other zoological terms—haying a very specific meanings—to describe, or illustrate, simple botanical processes of growth, for which there are true botanical terms, equally expressive and far more accurate, appears very likely to mislead a young enquiring naturalist. Now, these remarks have been suggested by a few illustrations, used by the author of the paper referred to, in his otherwise very valuable and instructive article. In speaking of the fertilisation of ferns, certain "spiral filaments" are described as having "swarmed about the pistillidium in numbers," as though they were a collection of independent individuals, clustering together like a swarm of bees] Again, in the next paragraph, these filaments are spoken of as being "tossed into the air," and by landing in certain "cups" are said to "fertilize the plant in its caterpillar stage, and thus enable it to put on its butterfly life or fronds.” Now the phrase "caterpillar stage," suggests one of the most definite and peculiar stages of insect development. So peculiarly animal; so utterly unlike anything to be found in the vegetable

POETRY: made a furore in the American press. I exclaimed "What! You say it is poetry? How is it postible?" It appeared to me to be a cry from the socialist platform rather than a poem; I hope I do not offend the author if I say that it was the American journalist whose mind of curiosity always turns, to use a Japanese expression, to making billows rise from the ground Before Edwin Markham there was Whittier, who sent out editorial volleys under the guise of poetry; it is not too much to say, I dare think, that An American Anthology, by Mr. Stedman, would look certainly better if it were reduced to one hundred pages from its eight hundred; we are bewildered to see so many poet-journalists perfectly jammed in the pages. One cannot act contrary to education; we are more or less the creation of tradition and circumstance. It was the strength of the old Western poets, particularly Americans, that they preached, theorized, and moralized, besides singing in their own days; but when I see that our Japanese poetry was never troubled by Buddhism or Confucianism [as such], I am glad here to venture that the Western poet would be better off by departing from Christianity, social reform and what not

I deem it one of the literary fortunes, a happy happening but not an achievement, that till quite recently our Japanese poetry was never annoyed, fatigued, tormented by criticism What I am thankful for is that it has never degenerated into mere literature; when the Western poetry is in the hand, so to say, of men of letters, the greatest danger will he found in the fact that they are often the prey of publication; it is true that the Western poets, minor or major, or what not, have had always the thought of printing from early date till today I have seen so many poets who only live between the covers and die when the ink fades away.

I have quoted these passages because I think the impression made upon the mind of a Japanese by our poetry assists us in forming our own conception of Japanese poetry.

 (ART). The Government is developing legislation to repeal the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 (Cth) and to establish the ART.

The Administrative Review Council (ARC) will be re-established under the new legislation as an expert body to monitor and advise on the operation and integrity of the Commonwealth administrative review system.

The ARC will provide expertise to improve the quality of government decision-making through the development of guidance, as well as reports to provide early identification of systemic issues and opportunities for improvement across government.

Legislation is expected to be introduced in late-2023. The process to appoint ARC members would commence following passage of the legislation.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government recognises the importance of ensuring agencies and departments are accountable and act in a manner that is lawful, fair and transparent. A properly resourced, independent, impartial and robust Ombudsman is vital to safeguarding the community in their dealings with government agencies.

The Government agrees that a clearly stated statutory duty, imposed on departmental secretaries and agency chief executive officers, to ensure that their department or agency use its best endeavours to assist the Ombudsman would reinforce the responsibility on heads of agencies to ensure their agency engages in good faith and proactively assists the Commonwealth Ombudsman.

The Government agrees that a corresponding statutory duty on Commonwealth public servants within a department or agency being investigated to use their best endeavours to assist the Commonwealth Ombudsman would ensure the responsibility to assist is clearly individually borne by each of those responsible.

The Government also recognises the importance of the Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman (IGTO) in providing assurance to the community that taxation laws are being administered with integrity. The Government supports also introducing equivalent statutory duties to investigations conducted by the IGTO.

The Government will progress amendments to relevant legislation to introduce these statutory duties.

 stitch across the top of the extension as shown in Fig. 16.

Next stitch the sleeve to the armhole with lap-felled seam and join the sleeve and underarm seams in one continuous seam. This seam, too, is best finished lap-felled.

Gather the lower edge of the sleeve as shown in Fig. 17. Note that the fullness is thrown either side of the vent and not at the underarm seam; also that the extension at the back of the vent is turned back.

To Make a French cuff, lay the two pieces for the cuff with the wrong sides of the material together and stitch around the outside. (See Fig. 18.) Cut off the seams diagonally

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government recognises the importance of ensuring that the Office of the Commonwealth Ombudsman has the legislative powers to undertake full, independent and transparent investigations. The Government also recognises that in order to provide assurance that an Ombudsman investigation is independent, the Ombudsman needs powers to obtain full, free and direct access to agency records as part of an investigation.

The Government will introduce legislation to establish a statutory power equivalent to that of subsection 33(3) of the Auditor-General Act 1997 (Cth). This would ensure the Ombudsman is not dependent upon agencies to undertake searches and provide documents and information, and will complement the Ombudsman's existing powers to request and compel agencies to provide information.

The Government will also seek to introduce an equivalent power for the Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman.

The Government accepts in principle this recommendation.

The Government agrees that agency and departmental responses to Ombudsman investigations must be accurate, complete and provided in a timely manner. This needs to be appropriately balanced with the fact that not all departments or agencies have a legal services division to provide oversight of responses. It would also not be appropriate for a legal division to provide oversight of a response in circumstances where the Ombudsman is investigating matters in which a legal area within a department or agency has been directly involved.

The Government has accepted recommendation 21.1, and will progress legislative amendments to require that departmental secretaries and agency chief executive officers ensure that their department or agency use its best endeavours to assist the Ombudsman. Consistent with this obligation, departmental secretaries and chief executive officers will ensure responses to Ombudsman investigations are not led or overseen by individuals or divisions directly involved in matters under investigation.

The Fig. 13 shows a pattern for a pointed facing which would finish one inch wide. Line CD is parallel to AB and one inch from it, while line GH is parallel to the first two lines and one-half inch from CD. Point E is centerway between points A and C and point F is one and one-quarter inches above it. In cutting out the pattern add the regulation seam allowance, three-eighths of an inch, at all points.

In joining the facing to the front edge of the slash, turn under the top and side AB a seam's width and join the edge GH to the edge of the slash. (See Fig. 14.) Fold the facing along the line CD and stitch as shown in Fig. 15. Lap the facing over the extension and

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Commonwealth Ombudsman is committed to effective information and records management systems that meet business needs, accountability requirements and stakeholder expectations. As a public administration oversight and educative body, the Commonwealth Ombudsman should maintain excellent records and demonstrate a high standard of information management.

The Commonwealth Ombudsman requires investigators to maintain a log of communications with agencies under investigation when conducting own motion investigations.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Commonwealth Ombudsman has the power under section 10A of the Ombudsman Act 1976 (Cth) to refer questions of law arising in an investigation for the opinion of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). The Ombudsman also has a related power, under section 11 of the Ombudsman Act 1976 (Cth) to recommend that the principal officer of a department make such a referral. These powers are integral to ensuring there are not unresolved matters of law in respect of an agency's actions under investigation by the Ombudsman.

The Government is developing legislation to repeal the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 (Cth) and to establish a new administrative review body. The Government will introduce consequential amendments to sections 10A and 11 of the Ombudsman Act 1976 (Cth) to retain the power for the Commonwealth Ombudsman to refer or recommend referral of matters to that new body.

These amendments will enable two important elements of the Commonwealth's administrative law scheme to work together to resolve issues of significance to the community.

 "The Lieutenant thought it not prudent to remain any longer at that fatal place; the Baron likewise wished to depart, and I too was impatient to be gone. As soon as we had finished our scanty dinner, we departed a second time; the tears started from our landlord's eyes, and from those of the good villagers, when we bade them farewell, after having made them a small present, and they saw us depart with regret."

"The Lieutenant knew the ways through the Black Forest pretty well, he rode by our chaise leading his servant's horse with one hand, and we reached without any farther accident the limits of that dreadful forest. We parted company at the close of the second day, bidding each other a tender adieu."

Finishing the Sleeves: Slash the back of the sleeve for a vent. The back edge of the vent is finished with an extension and the front edge with a pointed facing.

Cut the material for the extension one and three-quarter inches wide and about one-half inch longer than the vent. Fold under a seam at the top and stitch one edge of the extension to the slash as shown in Fig. 11. Note that edges of extension and sleeve are even at bottom, but that extension projects nearly a seam's width beyond the slashed edge at top of vent. Turn under the free side of the extension a seam's width, fold the extension through the center and stitch again. (See Fig. 12.)

The Government accepts in principle this recommendation.

The Government agrees that portfolio structures should support the effective delivery of government services and programs. The Government will be guided by the Royal Commission's findings when considering the most optimal arrangement of functions and responsibilities between the Department of Social Services and agencies in the social services portfolio, and the status of Services Australia.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government recognises the importance of building the skills and knowledge which are unique and essential to working in the APS.

The APS Academy, within the Australian Public Service Commission, is a networked hub of learning and development; working with APS and industry partners to build the capability and performance of the APS workforce. The APS Induction Pathway (which includes an induction training suite and mandatory modules) provides essential information and guidance to assist new and returning officers to work effectively in the APS.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government recognises the importance of designing policies and processes of government services that focus on the needs of the individuals engaging in those services. This includes making services as accessible as possible through a channel that meets the needs of the individual.

There has been a substantial change to the way Services Australia approaches service delivery. When considering a change or improvement to delivery of a service an evidence-based understanding of the needs of customers is formed based on their feedback, and with full exploration of how the proposed changes may impact them, before investment or service delivery decisions are made. Services Australia will continue to embed the customer voice in the earliest stages of decision-making, and draw on customer feedback to improve service delivery.

 The Department of Social Services has also established mechanisms to consult with representative bodies and ensure feedback from recipients is considered in the development of new policies and programs. These mechanisms include regular engagements with the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS), Economic Justice Australia (EJA) and the Federation of Ethnic Communities' Councils of Australia (FECCA).

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government agrees that access to training and resources on the Commonwealth administrative law system would support proper and lawful administrative decision-making across the public service. The Government will consider the most effective means through which to deliver this training and guidance.

The Government is committed to restoring trust and confidence in Australia's system of administrative review–beginning with the establishment of a new administrative review body that is user-focused, efficient, accessible, independent and fair. As outlined in the Government's response to recommendation 20.5, the Government will introduce legislation to repeal the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 (Cth) and to establish a new administrative review body. The Administrative Review Council (ARC) will be re-established under the new legislation. Legislation is expected to be introduced in late-2023. The process to appoint ARC members would commence following passage of the legislation.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government supports providing training, development and the skills that support staff to deliver high quality services on behalf of the government.

In 2022, Services Australia formed the Services Australia Learning Academy. The Learning Academy is a networked model of learning faculties and specialist enterprise learning teams, working in partnership to drive connected, professional and consistent learning practice across the agency. This represents a substantial investment in providing all staff with the support, skills and information needed to deliver critical services to the Australian public and to respond to emerging demands on Services Australia. The focus on building capability is reflective of the agency's approach to supporting staff to deliver world-class customer service, through all methods of customer engagement. This includes providing staff access to training that supports service delivery to customers that may be vulnerable or require additional assistance.

 is when the crabs come up the river," which means when the crayfish come down the rivers; but that is just their artless, unobservant way of putting things. This swarming of the crayfish occurs about every five years, and for days the river-water is crowded with them, so that you can bale them out by basketfuls. This the native does, accompanying his operations with songs and tom-toms, and he then eats any quantity of them; another quantity he smokes and preserves, in what he pleases to regard as a dried state, for sauce making; and the greatest quantity of all he chucks in heaps to fester round his dwelling.

There are plenty more causes of the extinction of tribes besides these—so many in fact, that one gets to wonder that there are any Coast tribes of 100 years old or so left.

Mr. Ibea himself says that there are not now more than 2,000 of his own tribe left, and that those that are now representing it are far inferior, physically, to those he remembers as having seen as old men, when he was a boy.

These Benga were once an exceedingly powerful and proud tribe. Now they have little save their pride left. In old days they were very busy making war on their neighbours, elephant hunting, shipping themselves as crew to whaling vessels, and other people as slaves to slaving vessels, and so on. Great hands at the slave trade were these Benga, and slave-owners are they still; but gone is their glory, and in a few years more the Benga will themselves have gone to join the shades of the tribes that were before them in this land, leaving behind them no sign, not even a flint arrow-head, to show that they ever existed; for their wooden utensils and their iron weapons will rot like rag in the hot moist earth; and then "finish."

Mr. Ibea and I got quite low about this. He agreed it was partially the Benga's own fault; they had of late years taken to bad habits, he said; amongst these to infant marriage. This struck me as strange, for as I have already mentioned, the also dying-out Igalwas have only recently adopted this custom. He says that forty years ago it was quite unknown among the Benga, and that in former days both men and women were frequently over fifteen and twenty before they married. Now the old men buy girl children, both as wives for themselves and

 Services Australia will continue to review and assess the need for additional or supplementary training programs that focus on elements of service delivery, where more formal training or a qualification may be of benefit.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government supports Senior Executive Service officials spending time in a front-line service delivery setting or with other community partnerships, to gain exposure and insights to the delivery of government services.

Senior Executive Service officials within Services Australia regularly spend time in a front-line service delivery setting, including the face-to-face and telephony environments, to gain insight into the experiences of both customers and staff.

Services Australia is also supportive of providing experience of front-line service delivery more broadly to Australian Public Service and Senior Executive Service officials responsible for policy development to assist when formulating policy/legislative changes and program delivery.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

Secretaries and agency heads must be accountable for their actions.

The Government will require the performance process and framework for secretaries and agency heads to be published.

The Government will introduce legislative amendments to the Public Service Act 1999 (Cth) to provide the Australian Public Service (APS) Commissioner with a new power to commence own motion reviews and investigations into Code of Conduct matters. The APS Commissioner will no longer have to wait for a referral before commencing an inquiry.

The Government will also progress amendments to extend the APS Commissioner's powers to former secretaries, agency heads and APS employees. These amendments will also provide for disciplinary declarations to be made against past secretaries, agency heads and APS employees. This will ensure that inquiries into the conduct of former public servants can be commenced and undertaken, and sanctions applied, following the end of their tenure.

Page:Code of Conduct for Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.pdf/1

The undersigned Justices are promulgating this Code of Conduct to set out succinctly and gather in one place the ethics rules and principles that guide the conduct of the Members of the Court. For the most part these rules and principles are not new: The Court has long had the equivalent of common law ethics rules, that is, a body of rules derived from a variety of sources, including statutory provisions, the code that applies to other members of the federal judiciary, ethics advisory opinions issued by the Judicial Conference Committee on Codes of Conduct, and historic practice. The absence of a Code, however, has led in recent years to the misunderstanding that the Justices of this Court, unlike all other jurists in this country, regard themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules. To dispel this misunderstanding, we are issuing this Code, which largely represents a codification of principles that we have long regarded as governing our conduct.

 The Government is committed to robust and transparent arrangements for the employment of department secretaries and agency heads. The Government will require the APS Commissioner and the Secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to have regard to the outcome of a merit-based appointments process when providing a report to the Prime Minister on a secretary appointment.

The Government accepts this recommendation.

The Government supports the implementation of standards for documenting important decisions and discussions across the APS.

The Australian Public Service Commission will implement a coordinated, APS-wide communications strategy (in consultation with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and National Archives of Australia (NAA)) that highlights the connection between integrity and recordkeeping, in line with the latest NAA guidance; articulates support from senior leadership for best practice in recordkeeping; and promotes existing training and resources to enhance capability and culture around recordkeeping, including for ministers' offices.

The Australian Public Service Commission, through the APS Academy, is also developing in partnership with the NAA an online Record Keeping Module as part of its induction program. This will include a range of case studies and scenarios to equip public servants to understand their obligations for documenting important decisions and discussions.

 for their infant sons. Then Mr. Ibea blamed the rum; although he owned they had plenty of rum in the old prosperous whaling and slaving days. Indeed he said he thought the main reason of their extinction was the indolence that had come over the tribe, now these incentives to activity were gone; for inactivity in Africa is death. He said, of course as a Christian minister, he knew it was for the best that the old warlike, bloodthirsty Benga spirit was broken, but—but well, I think he felt as I feel myself when I come across quantities of my fellow countrymen talking of the wickedness of war, and the necessity of checking our growing population, and so on; only I feel it more than Mr. Ibea, for I am not a Christian minister and am more of a savage than he is.

Nothing strikes one so much, in studying the degeneration of these native tribes, as the direct effect that civilisation and reformation has in hastening it. The worst enemy to the existence of the African tribe, is the one who comes to it and says:—Now you must civilise, and come to school, and leave off all those awful goings-on of yours, and settle down quietly. The tribe does so; the African is teachable and tractable; and then the ladies and some of the young men are happy and content with the excitement of European clothes and frequent Church services; but the older men and some of the bolder young men soon get bored with these things and the, to them, irksome restraints, and they go in for too much rum, or mope themselves to death, or return to their native customs. The African treats his religion much as other men do when he gets slightly educated, a little scientific one might say, he removes from his religion all the disagreeable parts. He promptly eliminates its equivalent Hell, represented in Fetishism by immediate and not future retribution. Then goes his rigid Sabbath-keeping, and food-restriction equivalent, and he has nothing left but the agreeable portions: dances, polygamy, and so on; and it's a very bad thing for him. I only state these things so as to urge upon people at home the importance of combining technical instruction in their mission teaching; which by instilling into the African mind ideas of discipline, and providing him with manual occupation, will save him from these relapses which are now the reproach of

A Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States should maintain and observe high standards of conduct in order to preserve the integrity and independence of the federal judiciary.

1. A Justice should respect and comply with the law and act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.

2. A Justice should not allow family, social, political, financial, or other relationships to influence official conduct or judgment. A Justice should neither knowingly lend the prestige of the judicial office to advance the private interests of the Justice or others nor knowingly convey or permit others to convey the impression that they are in a special position to influence the Justice. A Justice should not testify voluntarily as a character witness.

3. A Justice should not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, or national origin.

1. A Justice should not be swayed by partisan interests, public clamor, or fear of criticism. A Justice should participate in matters assigned, unless disqualified, and should maintain order and decorum in judicial proceedings. A Justice should be patient, dignified, respectful, and courteous to all individuals with whom the Justice deals in an official capacity. A Justice should not engage in behavior that is harassing, abusive, prejudiced, or biased. A Justice should not retaliate against those who report misconduct. A Justice should require similar conduct by those subject to the Justice’s control. A Justice should take appropriate action upon receipt of reliable information indicating the likelihood of misconduct by a Court employee. Except as provided by law or Court rule, a Justice should not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications or consider other communications concerning a pending or impending matter that are made outside the presence of the parties or their lawyers. If a Justice receives an unauthorized ex parte communication bearing on the substance of the matter, the Justice should promptly notify the parties of the subject matter of the communication and

 missionary effort, and the curse and degradation of the African. I do not feel sure that one must accept Mr. Ibca's opinion, and class infant marriage among the causes of tribe extinction, because this custom is in vogue among many tribes that are still swarming, and among these Fans it is in vogue as regards the women. This, I think, is the earliest stage of the custom.

The island of Corisco is three miles in length, north and south, and averages one and three-quarters in breadth. Its north-west point is in lat. 0°,58' north and long. 9°,20' east. I have acquired a good deal of information from local traditions, charts, and personal experience, the latter being of course largely of the situation of rocks and banks when personally navigating; so I will set the general results of my studies down.

Corisco Island is situated in the middle of Corisco Bay and is most seaward of the islands in the bay. It is surrounded by a hollow bank, irregular in outline, extending in some places two-and-a-half miles off shore; and in addition to this extensive shoal are several detached rocky patches off the N.E. shore of the island. Off the N.E. point lie Corisco Banks, the outer patch with three-and-a-half fathoms of water three miles off shore. On the outer large patch you may get twelve feet of water, but I found bottom at two feet. On the inner and larger it averages three feet; among both these patches there are boat channels; and Mr. Ibea's accounts of his experiences among them during the many voyages he has made to and from the mainland, with the stiff current that runs round Cape St. John, are thrilling, but not such as would induce any one to make Corisco a yachting centre.

Laval Island, which I have mentioned above, is about 200n yards long but makes the most of itself with rocks and trees, and stands high above the water. It is one mile south of Corisco Island. It has a line of bank, on which the sea breaks, north and north-east. The "West Coast Pilot "says there is only a canoe passage between it and Corisco Island. This is not the case, for you can take a small schooner between them, though I do not advise it because of the rock reef running out from Alondo Point. The edge of the encircling bank of Corisco Island goes round outside Laval one and a half miles to the west,

1. allow the parties to respond. A Justice should not knowingly make public comment on the merits of a matter pending or impending in any court. The prohibition on public comment on the merits of a matter does not extend to public statements made in the course of the Justice’s official duties. For scholarly, informational, or educational purposes, a Justice may describe the issues in a pending or impending case. A Justice should require similar restraint by Court personnel subject to the Justice’s control. A Justice should not direct Court personnel to engage in conduct on the Justice’s behalf or as the Justice’s representative when that conduct would contravene the Canons if undertaken by the Justice.

2. 1. A Justice is presumed impartial and has an obligation to sit unless disqualified.

2. A Justice should disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the Justice’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, that is, where an unbiased and reasonable person who is aware of all relevant circumstances would doubt that the Justice could fairly discharge his or her duties. Such instances include, but are not limited to, those in which: 1. The Justice has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding;

2. At a prior stage of the proceeding, the Justice represented a party, or a lawyer with whom the Justice previously practiced law served during such association as a lawyer for a party, or the Justice or lawyer has been a material witness in the proceeding;

3. The Justice knows that the Justice, individually or as a fiduciary, or the Justice’s spouse or minor child residing in the Justice’s household, has a financial interest in the subject matter in controversy or in a party to the proceeding, or any other interest that could be affected substantially by the outcome of the proceeding;

4. The Justice or the Justice’s spouse, or a person related to either within the third degree of relationship, or the spouse of such person, is known by the Justice: (i) to be a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, or trustee of a party; (ii) to be acting as a lawyer in the proceeding; (iii) to have an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding; or (iv) likely to be a material witness in the proceeding.

put up at a big, bustling hotel in Compiègne, where nobody observed our presence.

Reservery and general militarismus (as the Germans call it), was rampant. A camp of conical white tents without the town, looked like a leaf out of a picture Bible; sword-belts decorated the walls of the cafés; and the streets kept sounding all day long with military music. It was not possible to be an Englishman and avoid a feeling of elation; for the men who followed the drums were small, and walked shabbily. Each man inclined at his own angle, and jolted to his own convenience, as he went. There was nothing of the superb gait with which a regiment of tall highlanders moves

 behind its music, solemn and inevitable, like a natural phenomenon. Who, that has seen it, can forget the drum-major pacing in front, the drummers' tiger-skins, the pipers' swinging plaids, the strange elastic rhythm of the whole regiment footing it in time—and the bang of the drum, when the brasses cease, and the shrill pipes take up the martial story in their place?

A girl, at school in France, began to describe one of our regiments on parade, to her French schoolmates; and as she went on, she told me, the recollection grew so vivid, she became so proud to be the countrywoman of such soldiers, and so sorry to be in another country, that her voice failed her and she burst into tears. I have never forgotten that girl; and I think she very nearly deserves a statue. To call her a young lady, with all its niminy associations, would be to offer her an insult. She may rest assured of one thing; although she never should marry a

 and two miles to the southward. About a mile S.E. of Laval there is a reef which, when I was on Corisco, was a perpetual line of foam.

Laval Bank lies S.W. ¾ S. three-and-a-half miles from Laval Island. It is rock and sand. There is good fishing near it, but the sea breaks over the head of it furiously. It stretches two miles north and south and is one and a half broad, the Pilot says. I passed through it on my return voyage to Gaboon and think it is in many places two miles wide, but this being the rough season in these seas it showed itself off in full.

Baña Island is a quarter of a mile long, and is lower than Laval. It is five miles S. of the S.E. end of Corisco Island, that is, Alondo. Its surrounding plinth of rock shows in places at low water and one large rock, which is never covered, shows about a mile out to sea, W. by S.

But Baña Island is nothing to Baña Bank, which supports Obanjo's—I beg his pardon, Captain Johnson's—statement that "half dem dar 'fernal Corisco Bay Islands lib under water."

This bank is nine miles long, in an east by north and west by south direction, averaging three and a half miles in breadth. On it the depths are very shallow and variable. The eastern part of the bank is called the Crown Sand and a patch dries, for I was shell-hunting on it. About two miles S.E. by E. ¾ E. of Baña, that is to say shorewards to the mainland, there is another patch of the Crown Sand which dries, which is called the East Sand; on this I got some sponges and Gorgonia. After trying to give a conscientious account of Baña Bank, I notice my friend the "West Coast Pilot" collapses and pathetically beseeches you, if you will, or must, go into Corisco Bay, to be very careful. I think these patches of the Crown Sand that dry must be near to the end of the bank; for Captain Porter, who knows this bit of coast well, tells me there is a passage for vessels out of Corisco Bay by Oranda Point, towards Cape Esterias, provided they do not draw more than two fathoms and know the way; but this passage is not used now.

Eleven miles east from the north-east end of Corisco Island, further into the bay, lie the two Eloby Islands. They are on the

 heroic general, never see any great or immediate result of her life, she will not have lived in vain for her native land.

But though French soldiers show to ill-advantage on parade, on the march they are gay, alert, and willing like a troop of fox-hunters. I remember once seeing a company pass through the forest of Fontainebleau, on the Chailly road, between the Bas Bréau and the Reine Blanche. One fellow walked a little before the rest, and sang a loud, audacious marching song. The rest, bestirred their feet, and even swung their muskets in time. A young officer on horseback had hard ado to keep his countenance at the words. You never saw anything so cheerful and spontaneous as their gait; schoolboys do not look more eagerly at hare and hounds; and you would have thought it impossible to tire such willing marchers.

My great delight in Compiègne was the town-

 hall. I doted upon the town-hall. It is a monument of Gothic insecurity, all turretted, and gargoyled, and slashed, and bedizened with half a score of architectural fancies. Some of the niches are gilt and painted; and in a great square panel in the centre, in black relief on a gilt ground, Louis XII. rides upon a pacing horse, with hand on hip, and head thrown back. There is royal arrogance in every line of him; the stirrupped foot projects insolently from the frame; the eye is hard and proud; the very horse seems to be treading with gratification over prostrate serfs, and to have the breath of the trumpet in his nostrils. So rides for ever, on the front of the town-hall, the good king Louis XII., the father of his people.

Over the king's head, in the tall centre turret, appears the dial of a clock; and high above that, three little mechanical figures, each one with a hammer in his hand, whose business it is

 HOMO SAPIENS, by Stanislaw Przybyszewski is a very modern love-story —it might be called the love-story of a super-man. And yet, as in most Slavic fiction, there is very much more to Homo Sapiens than just the story. (Alfred A. Knopf, $1.50 net.)

 THE LOST PRINCE, by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a romance of to-day, based on a mediaeval Serbian legend. The hero is the lost heir of a dynasty exiled for five centuries but unaware of his high destiny. It is a happy, winning story that will appeal to many. (The Century Co., $1.35 net.)

PROJECTIVE ORNAMENT, by Claude Bragdon is not solely a book of patterns—a mere phrase book—but rather the grammar of a new space-language derived from projective geometry. The two things which give the book its peculiar distinction and originality are the decorative use made of certain figures of four-dimensional geometry when projected into solid and into plane space, and the discovery—or perhaps the rediscovery—of the beautiful patterns which may be derived from the so-called "magic" lines of magic squares. (Manas Press, $1.50.)

CHINESE ART MOTIVES INTERPRETED, by Winifred Reed Treadwell, reflects the life that underlies Chinese art, which draws many of its motives from the intimate stories of that great country. The book is brightly written and presents a great deal of information in a manner calculated to interest the lay reader no less than the student of the subject. There are a number of excellent illustrations. (G. P . Putnam's Sons, $1.75 net.)

THE MASTERPIECES OF MODERN DRAMA, edited by John A. Pierce and Brander Matthews, contains in two volumes sixty plays—one volume devoted to foreign and the other to English and American plays. The plays are told in story form with excerpts from the dialogue; the work is exceedingly well done. (Doubleday, Page & Co., 2 vols., $2.00 net.)
