AUSTRALIAN OUTLAW
Ben Ilall the Bushranger. By Frank Clune. Angu? and Robertson. 11s. Mr Clune attempts neither to condemn nor to excuse one of Australia’s most notorious outlaws as he describes the life of Ben Hall tlic Bushranger. Steering a middle course between the sentimentality which some authors have lavished with insufficient excuse on these colourful figures and the official records which have shown them to possess a sorry lack of humanity, he has set an explanatory course, telling with apparent fairness how his subject drifted into a life of crime and how circumstances caused him to adhere to it. The period is capably described, and the characters are in keeping with their times. E. €. C.
