SIR HENRY PARKES’ BOOK.
London, Nov. 21. In his book Sir Henry Parkes describes Mr Dibbs as a kindly man personally, but reckless and worthless as a politican, and Mr Reid, he says, is as influent as a waterspout after a downfall of rain. He attacks SirS. Griffith and Mr M’llraith over the Kanaka question, and believes federation will come from the people, who will elect a Federal Congress to take the matter out of the hands of the faltering politicians. The Times publishes a highly eulogistic article on Sir Henry Parkes, whose book, it states, is a most significant contribution to the current history of the Empire. Sir Henry, it adds, was always a great cololonial statesman because, like the late Sir J. McDonald of Canada, and Mr Cecil Rhodes of the Cape, he recognised the necessity of being an Imperial statesman as well. This he had shown throughout his career, and his opposition to a legal eight hours shows that he had the courage of his opinions.
