TWO LITTLE BROTHERS. By HARRIET M. CAPES.
This is a pleasant account of some of the incidents which befel two
little brothers, whose home was in a seaside village. It tells of their
adventures on the shore and of the wonderful sights they saw during a
trip to London, and how a kind father taught them to practise at all
times self-control and courtesy.
THREE LITTLE ONES: Their Haps and Mishaps. By CORA LANGTON.
A simple tale of home life. Children are sure to love and admire bright
Mabel, affectionate Eddie, and sad little Lucy, while the story of
Mabel's sin and Lucy's sorrow will teach them truthfulness and
obedience.
THE NEW BOY AT MERRITON. By JULIA GODDARD.
"A story of English school life. It is an attempt to teach a
somewhat higher code of honour than that which prevails among the
general run of schoolboys, and the lesson makes a very good
story."--_School Board Chronicle._
THE BLIND BOY OF DRESDEN.
"This is a family story of great pathos. It does not obtrusively
dictate its lesson, but it quietly introduces, and leaves it within
the heart."--_Aberdeen Journal._
JON OF ICELAND: A True Story.
"'Jon of Iceland' is a sturdy, well-educated young Icelander, who
becomes a successful teacher. It gives children a clear idea of the
chief physical features of the island, and of the simple and manly
character of its inhabitants."--_School Guardian._
STORIES FROM SHAKESPEARE.
"The stories are told in such a way that young people having read
them will desire to study the works of Shakespeare in their
original form."--_The Schoolmistress._
EVERY MAN IN HIS PLACE. The Story of a City Boy and a Forest Boy.
"This is the history of the son of a wealthy Hamburg merchant, who
wished to follow in the steps of Robinson Crusoe. He was put to the
test, and became convinced in the end that it is better to live the
life of a wealthy merchant in a great city than to endure hardship
by choice."--_School Board Chronicle._
FIRESIDE FAIRIES and FLOWER FANCIES: STORIES FOR GIRLS.
"Nine stories are included, all for girls, encouraging them to try
and do their duty. Young servants would find this book very
interesting."--_The Schoolmistress._
TO THE SEA IN SHIPS: STORIES OF SUFFERING AND SAVING AT SEA.
"_To the Sea in Ships_ records several noted disasters at sea, such
as the foundering of the _London_ and the wreck of the _Atlantic_.
It also contains narratives of successful rescues. This is a
capital book for boys."--_School Guardian._
JACK'S VICTORY: AND OTHER STORIES ABOUT DOGS.
"Every boy, and some girls, take great delight in reading about
dogs. Well, Jack was a dog; a famous and wonderful one, too. He
became leader of a team in Greenland, and some rare exploits he
took part in. Besides 'Jack's Victory' there are ten other stories
about dogs in this volume."--_The Schoolmistress._
