=To Greenland and the Pole.= By GORDON STABLES, M.D. With
8 page Illustrations by G. C. HINDLEY, and a Map. 5_s._

the books of the season, and one of the best Mr. Stables has ever
written."--_Truth._

page Illustrations by A. PEARSE. 5_s._

='Twixt School and College:= A Tale of Self-reliance. By
GORDON STABLES, C.M., M.D., R.N. Illustrated by W.
PARKINSON. 5_s._
"One of the best of a prolific writer's books for boys, being full
of practical instructions as to keeping pets, and inculcates in a
way which a little recalls Miss Edgeworth's 'Frank' the virtue of
self-reliance."--_Athenæum._
=With the Sea Kings:= A Story of the Days of Lord Nelson. By
F. H. WINDER. Illustrated by W. S. STACEY. 4_s._
"Just the book to put into a boy's hands. Every chapter contains
boardings, cuttings out, fighting pirates, escapes of thrilling
audacity, and captures by corsairs, sufficient to turn the quietest
boy's head. The story culminates in a vigorous account of the battle of
Trafalgar. Happy boys!"--_The Academy._

BROOKS. With 12 page Illustrations by HOWARD PYLE.

=Chivalric Days:= Stories of Courtesy and Courage in the Olden
Times. By E. S. BROOKS. With 20 Illustrations. 3_s._ 6_d._

or imaginary sketches, but are real and actual records of their sayings
and doings."--_Literary World._

Times. By E. S. BROOKS. With 12 page Illustrations. 3_s._
6_d._
"A wholesome book, manly in tone; 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._

_Margaret_. With Illustrations by WILLIAM RAINEY, R.I.

than Mr. St. Leger's."--_National Observer._
