"One of the best stories we have had of the Australian bush, with
a good plot, an action always good, and rising into dramatic
intensity at times."--_Spectator._
The White Squall. By JOHN C. HUTCHESON.
"This is a capital story. The descriptions of scenery and places,
and especially of the changes of calm and tempest, are lifelike
and vivid."--_Standard._
The Wreck Of the "Nancy Bell." By J. C. HUTCHESON.
"The narrative is full of excitement and interest; it cannot fail
to develop resource, and encourage independence and manliness of
character."--_Academy._
The Lonely Pyramid. By J. H. YOXALL.
"It is full of wild surprises and marvels. The Pyramid alone is a
fascinating invention, and the 'lost oasis of the vision on the
sand' is even more delightful."--_Saturday Review._
Bab: or, The Triumph of Unselfishness. By ISMAY THORN.
"_Bab_ is a capital story for children, who will be much
amused by the picture on the cover of the worthy doll
Jocasta."--_Athenaeum._
Climbing the Hill, and other Stories. By ANNIE S. SWAN.
"Miss Annie Swan's children _are_ children, and not old
people masquerading in children's attire. This volume of tales is
made up of just the kind of incidents of which children love to
read."--_Christian Leader._
Brave and True, and other Stories. By GREGSON GOW.
"This is one of those very few volumes which are adapted for
reading aloud to children in the nursery."--_Spectator._
The Light Princess. By GEORGE MACDONALD.
"Graceful, fantastic, delicately didactic in its playfulness, this
volume is likely to give as much pleasure to the elder folk as to
the younger."--_Daily News._
Nutbrown Roger and I. By J. H. YOXALL.
"The pictures of manners is perfect, the excitement, of the
healthiest kind, goes on increasing to the last. It is one of the
very best and most delightful story-books of the
season."--_Tablet._
Warner's Chase: Or, The Gentle Heart. By ANNIE S. SWAN.
"In Milly Warren, the heroine, who softens the hard heart of her
rich uncle, and thus unwittingly restores the family fortunes, we
have a fine ideal of real womanly goodness."--_Schoolmaster._
Sam Silvan's Sacrifice. By JESSE COLMAN.
"There is a spirit of gentleness, kindliness, and tenderness
manifest in every page of this volume, which will make it an
influence for good."--_Christian Union._
Insect Ways on Summer Days in Garden, Forest, Field, and Stream. By
JENNETT HUMPHREYS. With 70 Illustrations.
"This book will prove not only instructive but delightful to every
child whose mind is beginning to inquire and reflect upon the
wonders of nature. It is capitally illustrated and very tastefully
bound."--_Academy._
Susan. By AMY WALTON.
"A clever little story, written with some humour. The authoress
shows a great deal of insight into children's feelings and
motives."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
