=Through Swamp and Glade:= A Tale of the Seminole War. By KIRK
MUNROE. Illustrated by VICTOR PERARD. 5_s._
"The hero of _Through Swamp and Glade_ will find many ardent champions,
and the name of Coachoochie become as familiar in the schoolboy's ear
as that of the headmaster."--_St. James's Gazette._
=At War With Pontiac:= or, The Totem of the Bear. By KIRK
MUNROE. Illustrated by J. FINNEMORE. 5_s._
"Is in the best manner of Cooper. There is a character who is the
parallel of Hawkeye, as the Chingachgooks and Uncas have likewise their
counterparts."--_The Times._
=The White Conquerors of Mexico:= A Tale of Toltec and Aztec. By
KIRK MUNROE. Illustrated by W. S. STACEY. 5_s._
"Mr. Munroe gives most vivid pictures of the religious and civil polity
of the Aztecs, and of everyday life, as he imagines it, in the streets
and market-places of the magnificent capital of Montezuma."--_The
Times._
_Crown 8vo, cloth elegant_.
=Two Thousand Years Ago:= or, The Adventures of a Roman Boy. By
Professor A. J. CHURCH. With 12 page Illustrations by

scenes and characters."--_The Times._
=The Clever Miss Follett.= By J. K. H. DENNY. With 12
page Illustrations by GERTRUDE D. HAMMOND. 6_s._
"Just the book to give to girls, who will delight both in the

work."--_Review of Reviews._
=The Heiress of Courtleroy.= By ANNE BEALE. With 8 page
Illustrations by T. C. H. CASTLE. 5_s._
"We can speak highly of the grace with which Miss Beale relates how the
young 'Heiress of Courtleroy' had such good influence over her uncle as
to win him from his intensely selfish ways."--_Guardian._
=Under False Colours:= A Story from Two Girls' Lives. By SARAH
DOUDNEY. Illustrated by G. G. KILBURNE. 4_s._
"Sarah Doudney has no superior as a writer of high-toned stories--pure
in style and original in conception; but we have seen nothing from her
pen equal in dramatic energy to this book."--_Christian Leader._

department."--_Daily News._

=Dick o' the Fens:= A Romance of the Great East Swamp. By G.
MANVILLE FENN. Illustrated by FRANK DADD. 6_s._
"We conscientiously believe that boys will find it capital reading.
It is full of incident and mystery, and the mystery is kept up to the
last moment. It is rich in effective local colouring; and it has a
historical interest."--_Times._
=Devon Boys:= A Tale of the North Shore. By G. MANVILLE
FENN. With 12 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE.
6_s._
