_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant._
=The Log of a Privateersman.= By HARRY COLLINGWOOD. With 12 page
Illustrations by W. RAINEY, R.I. 6_s._
“The narrative is breezy, vivid, and full of incidents, faithful in
nautical colouring, and altogether delightful.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._
=The Pirate Island.= By HARRY COLLINGWOOD. With 8 page Pictures by C.
J. STANILAND and J. R. WELLS. 5_s._
“A capital story of the sea; indeed in our opinion the author is
superior in some respects as a marine novelist to the better-known Mr.
Clark Russell.”--_The Times._
=The Log of the “Flying Fish”=: A Story of Aerial and Submarine
Adventure. By HARRY COLLINGWOOD. With 6 page Illustrations by GORDON
BROWNE. 3_s._ 6_d._
“The _Flying Fish_ actually surpasses all Jules Verne’s creations;
with incredible speed she flies through the air, skims over the
surface of the water, and darts along the ocean bed. We strongly
recommend our schoolboy friends to possess themselves of her
log.”--_Athenæum._
⁂ For other Books by Harry Collingwood, see pages 22 and 23.
BY KIRK MUNROE.
“Captain Mayne Reid and Gustave Aimard find a worthy successor in Mr.
Kirk Munroe.”--_St. James’s Gazette._
=With Crockett and Bowie=: A Tale of Texas. By KIRK MUNROE. With 8 page
Illustrations by VICTOR PERARD. 5_s._
“Mr. Munroe has constructed his plot with undoubted skill, and his
descriptions of the combats between the Texans and the Mexicans are
brilliantly _graphic_. This is in every sense one of the best books
for boys that has been produced this season.”--_Spectator._
=Through Swamp and Glade=: A Tale of the Seminole War. By KIRK MUNROE.
With 8 Illustrations by VICTOR PERARD. 5_s._
“The hero of _Through Swamp and Glade_ will find many ardent
champions, and the name of Coachoochie become as familiar in the
schoolboy’s ear as that of the headmaster.”--_St. James’s Gazette._
=At War with Pontiac=: or, The Totem of the Bear. By KIRK MUNROE. With
8 Illustrations by J. FINNEMORE. 5_s._
“Is in the best manner of Cooper. There is a character who is the
parallel of Hawkeye, as the Chingachgooks and Uncas have likewise
their counterparts.”--_The Times._
=The White Conquerors of Mexico=: A Tale of Toltec and Aztec. By KIRK
MUNROE. With 8 Illustrations by W. S. STACEY. 5_s._
“Mr. Munroe gives most vivid pictures of the religious and civil
polity of the Aztecs, and of everyday life, as he imagines it,
in the streets and market-places of the magnificent capital of
Montezuma.”--_The Times._
FINELY ILLUSTRATED BOOKS FOR CHILDREN.
=Red Apple and Silver Bells=: a Book of Verse for Children of all Ages.
By HAMISH HENDRY. With over 150 charming Illustrations by Miss ALICE B.
