MAX O'RELL'S DESCRIPTION OF THE BOER.
In his new book Mas O'Rell thus describes the Boer : ' Take all that is dirtiest, bravest, most old-fashioned, and most obstinate in a Breton ; all that is niot suspicious, sly. and mean in a Norman; all that is shrewdest, most hospitable, and most Puritan and bigoted in a Sot ; mix well, stir, and serve, and you have a Boer, or if you will — a boor.'
