With 8 page Illustrations by J. SCHOeNBERG. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,

"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 school-boy friends to possess themselves of
her log."--_Athenaeum._

BY DR. GORDON STABLES.
Westward With Columbus. By GORDON STABLES, M.D., C.M. With 8 page
Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine
edges, 5_s._
The hero of this story is Columbus himself; and a very
picturesque, noble, and enchanting hero he makes. His career is
traced from boyhood onwards, but the narrative deals chiefly with
the great naval venture which Columbus conducted across the
Atlantic, and which resulted in the discovery of the American
continent. There were many dangers which threatened to wreck this
momentous enterprise, but these were all overcome by this
indomitable man, and his efforts were at last crowned with
success. It is a splendid story, possessing all the value of
truth, with all the charm of the most daring romance.
'Twixt School and College: A Tale of Self-reliance. By GORDON STABLES,
C.M., M.D., R.N. With 8 page Illustrations by W. PARKINSON. Crown 8vo,
cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._
"One of the best of a prolific writer's books for boys, being full
of practical instructions as to keeping pets, from white mice
upwards, and inculcates in a way which a little recalls Miss
Edgeworth's 'Frank' the virtue of self-reliance, though the local
colouring of the home of the Aberdeenshire boy is a good deal more
picturesque."--_Athenaeum._
