KINGSLEY, CHARLES.
               Westward Ho!
               Illustrated by C.E. Brock.
               Macmillan. 1.50

A glorious tale of the voyages and adventures of Sir Amyas Leigh, a
Devon knight of Elizabethan days.

  Oh, where be these gay Spaniards,
  Which make so great a boast O?
  Oh, they shall eat the grey-goose feather,
  And we shall eat the roast O!
                                        _Cornish Song._


SCOTT, WALTER.
               Ivanhoe.
               Macmillan. 1.25

Scott's masterpiece contains, within the compass of a single volume,
sufficient material for five or six books of romance. Incident follows
upon incident, and holds the reader, young or old, with entranced
attention. The period is that of King Richard I.


SCOTT, WALTER.
               Kenilworth.
               Macmillan. 1.25

The tragic Elizabethan story of Leicester and Amy Robsart. It is not
beyond the comprehension of most young people of fourteen.


SCOTT, WALTER.                                                     (p. 230)
               The Talisman.
               Macmillan. 1.25

     The scene of The Talisman is in Palestine with Richard Coeur de
     Lion and his allies of the Third Crusade. From the contest on the
     desert between the Saracen cavalier and the Knight of the
     Sleeping Leopard to the final Battle of the Standard it is full
     of interest.
                                        CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH.


STEVENSON, R.L.
                Kidnapped.
                Scribner. 1.50

     Being Memoirs of the Adventures of David Balfour in the Year
     1751: How he was Kidnapped and Cast away; his Sufferings in a
     Desert Isle; his Journey in the Wild Highlands; his acquaintance
     with Alan Breck Stewart and other notorious Highland Jacobites;
     with all that he Suffered at the hands of his Uncle, Ebenezer
     Balfour of Shaws, falsely so-called.--_Title-page._


VAILE, C.M.
               Sue Orcutt.
               Wilde. 1.50

In this sequel to The Orcutt Girls Sue continues her education, doing
a little literary work meanwhile. Instead of writing, however, as she
had planned, her happy marriage opens the way for home occupations.
The thread of pleasant romance will, of course, add to the book's
attraction for girl readers.


WALLACE, DILLON.
               Ungava Bob.
               Revell. 1.50

The thrilling adventures of a young trapper in the Labrador and Ungava
regions. Incidentally much information is given in an interesting  (p. 231)
way. Mr. Wallace is well qualified from personal experience to write of
this Northern country.


WIGGIN, K.D. (S.).
               °The Birds' Christmas Carol.
               Houghton. .50
