"One of the best stories of seafaring life and adventure which have appeared this season. It contains a capital 'fo'c's'le' ghost and a thrilling shipwreck. No boy who begins it but will wish to join the _Britannia_ long before he finishes these delightful pages."--_Academy._ =Sou'wester and Sword.= By HUGH ST. LEGER. With 6 page Illustrations by HAL HURST. 4_s._ "As racy a tale of life at sea and war adventure as we have met with for some time.... Altogether the sort of book that boys will revel in."--_Athenæum._ =Meg's Friend.= By ALICE CORKRAN. With 6 page Illustrations by ROBERT FOWLER. 3_s._ 6_d._ "One of Miss Corkran's charming books for girls, narrated in that simple and picturesque style which marks the authoress as one of the first amongst writers for young people."--_The Spectator._ =Margery Merton's Girlhood.= By ALICE CORKRAN. With 6 page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE. 3_s._ 6_d._ "Another book for girls we can warmly commend.

By ALICE CORKRAN. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 3_s._ 6_d._ "A gem of the first water, bearing upon every page the mark of genius.

ZENO DIEMER. 4_s._ "Is the boys' book of its year. That is, of course, as much as to say that it will do for men grown as well as juniors. It is told in simple, straightforward English, as all stories should be, and it has a freshness, a freedom, a sense of sun and wind and the open air, which make it irresistible."--_National Observer._ =Gold, Gold, in Cariboo:= A Story of Adventure in British Columbia. By CLIVE PHILLIPPS-WOLLEY. With 6 page Illustrations by G. C. HINDLEY. 3_s._ 6_d._ "We have seldom read a more exciting tale of wild mining adventure in a singularly inaccessible country. There is a capital plot, and the interest is sustained to the last page."--_The Times._ BY CHARLES W. WHISTLER. _In crown 8vo, cloth elegant._ [Illustration: _Reduced Illustration from "Wulfric the Weapon-Thane"._] =Wulfric the Weapon-Thane:= The Story of the Danish Conquest of East Anglia.
