Mexico with Hawkins and Drake. By EDGAR PICKERING. Illustrated with 6
page Pictures drawn by ALFRED PEARSE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3_s._

"And a very good yarn it is, with not a dull page from first to
last. There is a flavour of _Westward Ho!_ in this attractive
book."--_Educational Review._
"An excellent story of adventure. Especially good is the
description of Mexico and of the dungeons of the Inquisition,
while Don Diego Polo is a delightful mixture of bravery and
humour, and his rescue of the unfortunate prisoners is told with
great spirit. The book is thoroughly to be
recommended."--_Guardian._

3_s._ 6_d._
"Wonderful as the adventures of Silas are, it must be admitted
that they are very naturally worked out and very plausibly
presented. Altogether this is an excellent story for
boys."--_Saturday Review._
