Blackie & Son -- Catalogs; Children's literature -- Catalogs; Publishers' catalogs -- England -- London
"A wholesome book, manly in tone, its character sketches enlivened
by brisk dialogue and high-class illustrations; altogether one
that should incite boys to further acquaintance with those rulers
of men whose careers are narrated. We advise teachers to put it on
their list of prizes."--_Knowledge._
Dr. Jolliffe's Boys: A Tale of Weston School. By LEWIS HOUGH. With 6
page Pictures. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3_s._ 6_d._
"Young people who appreciate _Tom Brown's School-days_ will
find this story a worthy companion to that fascinating book. There
is the same manliness of tone, truthfulness of outline, avoidance
of exaggeration and caricature, and healthy morality as
characterized the masterpiece of Mr. Hughes."--_Newcastle
Journal._

The Bubbling Teapot. A Wonder Story. By Mrs. L. W. CHAMPNEY. With 12
page Pictures by WALTER SATTERLEE. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3_s._ 6_d._
"Very literally a 'wonder story,' and a wild and fanciful one.
Nevertheless it is made realistic enough, and there is a good deal
of information to be gained from it. The steam from the magic
teapot bubbles up into a girl, and the little girl, when the fancy
takes her, can cry herself back into a teapot. Transformed and
enchanted she makes the tour of the globe."--_The Times._

BY JENNETT HUMPHREYS.
Laugh and Learn: The Easiest Book of Nursery Lessons and Nursery
Games. By JENNETT HUMPHREYS. Profusely Illustrated. Square 8vo, cloth
extra, 3_s._ 6_d._
"_Laugh and Learn_ instructs and amuses; it is the very book
for a wet day in the nursery, for besides solid instruction,
admirably given, it contains numberless games and contrivances,
with useful and amusing illustrations. The musical drill is
remarkably good."--_Athenaeum._
"One of the best books of the kind imaginable, full of practical
teaching in word and picture, and helping the little ones
pleasantly along a right royal road to learning."--_Graphic._
"Every mother of children should have _Laugh and Learn_, and
go through with them the excellent course it
contains."--_Journal of Education._
