A Pair of Clogs. By AMY WALTON.
"Decidedly interesting, and unusually true to nature. For children
between nine and fourteen this book can be thoroughly
commended."--_Academy._
The Hawthorns. By AMY WALTON.
"A remarkably vivid and clever study of child-life. At this
species of work Amy Walton has no superior."--_Christian
Leader._
Dorothy's Dilemma. By CAROLINE AUSTIN.
"An exceptionally well-told story, and will be warmly welcomed by
children. The little heroine, Dorothy, is a charming
creation."--_Court Journal._
Marie's Home. By CAROLINE AUSTIN.
"An exquisitely told story. The heroine is as fine a type of
girlhood as one could wish to set before our little British
damsels of to-day."--_Christian Leader._
A Warrior King. By J. EVELYN.
"The friendship formed between the African Prince and Adrian
Englefield will remind the reader of the old story of the
'wonderful love' which existed long ago when Jonathan and David
made a covenant."--_Dundee Advertiser._
Aboard the "Atalanta." By HENRY FRITH.
"The story is very interesting and the descriptions most graphic.
We doubt if any boy after reading it would be tempted to the great
mistake of running away from school under almost any pretext
whatever."--_Practical Teacher._
The Penang Pirate. By JOHN C. HUTCHESON.
"A book which boys will thoroughly enjoy: rattling, adventurous,
and romantic, and the stories are thoroughly healthy in
tone."--_Aberdeen Journal._

"He is an amusing little fellow with a rich fund of animal
spirits, and when at length he goes to sea with Uncle Jack he
speedily sobers down under the discipline of life."--_Saturday
Review._
A Rash Promise. By CECILIA SELBY LOWNDES.
"A carefully told story; and Meg Clifford is a delightful and
natural little girl."--_Spectator._
Linda and the Boys. By CECILIA SELBY LOWNDES.
"The book is essentially a child's book, and will be heartily
appreciated by the young folk."--_The Academy._
Swiss Stories for Children. From the German of MADAM JOHANNA SPYRI. By
LUCY WHEELOCK.
"Charming stories. They are rich in local colouring, and, what is
better, in genuine pathos."--_The Times._
The Squire's Grandson: A Devonshire Story. By J. M. CALLWELL.
"The lessons of courage, filial affection, and devotion to duty on
the part of the young hero cannot fail to favourably impress all
young readers."--_Schoolmaster._
Magna Charta Stories. Edited by ARTHUR GILMAN, A.M.
"A book of special excellence, which ought to be in the hands of
all boys."--_Educational News._
The Wing's of Courage; AND THE CLOUD-SPINNER. Translated from the
French of GEORGE SAND, by Mrs. CORKRAN.
"Mrs. Corkran has earned our gratitude by translating into
readable English these two charming little
stories."--_Athenaeum._
