"Had we space we would fain quote page after page. All we have
room to say is, get it for your boys and girls to read for
themselves."--_Practical Teacher._
The War of the Axe: Or, Adventures in South Africa. By J.
PERCY-GROVES.
"The story of their final escape from the Caffres is a marvellous
bit of writing.... The story is well and brilliantly
told."--_Literary World._
The Lads of Little Clayton. By R. STEAD.
"A capital book for boys. They will learn from its pages what true
boy courage is. They will learn further to avoid all that is petty
and mean if they read the tales aright. They may be read to a
class with great profit."--_Schoolmaster._
Ten Boys who lived on the Road from Long Ago to Now. By JANE ANDREWS.
With 20 Illustrations.
"The idea of this book is a very happy one, and is admirably
carried out. We have followed the whole course of the work with
exquisite pleasure. Teachers should find it particularly
interesting and suggestive."--_Practical Teacher._
A Waif of the Sea: Or, The Lost Found. By KATE WOOD.
"Written with tenderness and grace, the story will appeal to
mothers who have felt the pain of being parted from their
children, as powerfully as to the hearts and sympathies of younger
readers."--_Morning Advertiser._
Winnie's Secret: A Story of Faith and Patience. By KATE WOOD.
"One of the best story-books we have read. Girls will be charmed
with the tale, and delighted that everything turns out so
well."--_Schoolmaster._
Miss Willowburn's Offer. By SARAH DOUDNEY.
"Patience Willowburn is one of Miss Doudney's best creations, and
is the one personality in the story which can be said to give it
the character of a book not for young ladies but for
girls."--_Spectator._
A Garland for Girls. By LOUISA M. ALCOTT.
"The _Garland_ will delight our girls, and show them how to
make their lives fragrant with good deeds."--_British
Weekly._
"These little tales are the beau ideal of girls'
stories."--_Christian World._
Hetty Gray: Or, Nobody's Bairn. By ROSA MULHOLLAND.
"A charming story for young folks. Hetty is a delightful
creature--piquant, tender, and true--and her varying fortunes are
perfectly realistic."--_World._
Brothers in Arms: A Story of the Crusades. By F. BAYFORD HARRISON.
"Full of striking incident, is very fairly illustrated, and may
safely be chosen as sure to prove interesting to young people of
both sexes."--_Guardian._

PEARCE.

There is plenty of incident, and the interest is sustained
throughout."--_Journal of Education._

life, who will put no nonsense into young heads."--_Graphic._
