Two Russian lads are so deeply impressed by reading _Robinson Crusoe_ that they run away from home. They lose their way in a huge trackless forest, and for two years are kept busy hunting for food, fighting against wolves and other enemies, and labouring to increase their comforts, before they are rescued. “This is a story after a boy’s own heart.”—_Nottingham Guardian_. MEREDITH FLETCHER Every Inch a Briton: A School Story. With 6 page Illustrations by SYDNEY COWELL. 3_s._ 6_d._ This story is written from the point of view of an ordinary boy, who gives an animated account of a young public-schoolboy’s life. No moral is drawn; yet the story indicates a kind of training that goes to promote veracity, endurance, and enterprise; and of each of several of the characters it might be truly said, he is worthy to be called, “Every Inch a Briton”. “In Every Inch a Briton Mr. Meredith Fletcher has scored a success.”—_Manchester Guardian_. EDGAR PICKERING In Press-Gang Days. With 4 Illustrations by W. S. STACEY. 2_s._ 6_d._ _New Edition._ In this story Harry Waring is caught by the Press-gang and carried on board His Majesty’s ship _Sandwich_. He takes part in the mutiny of the Nore, and shares in some hard fighting on board the _Phœnix_. He is with Nelson, also, at the storming of Santa Cruz, and the battle of the Nile. “It is of Marryat, that friend of our boyhood, we think as we read this delightful story; for it is not only a story of adventure, with incidents well-conceived and arranged, but the characters are interesting and well-distinguished.”—_Academy_. FRED SMITH The Boyhood of a Naturalist. With 6 page Illustrations. 3_s._ 6_d._ _New Edition._ Few lovers of Nature have given to the world a series of recollections so entertaining, so vigorous, and so instinct with life as these delightful reminiscences. The author takes the reader with him in the rambles in which he spent the happiest hours of his boyhood, a humble observer of the myriad forms of life in field and copse, by stream and hedgerow. “We cannot too highly recommend the book to all readers.”—_Guardian_. —The World of Animal Life. Edited by FRED SMITH. Profusely Illustrated with Engravings after F. SPECHT and other eminent artists. 5_s._ The aim of _The World of Animal Life_ is to give in non-scientific language an account of those inhabitants of the land, sea, and sky with whose names we are all familiar, but concerning whose manner of life the majority of us have only the haziest conceptions. “An admirable volume for the young mind enquiring after Nature.”—_Birmingham Gazette_. J. CHALMERS Fighting the Matabele: A story of Adventure in Rhodesia. Illustrated by STANLEY L. WOOD. 3_s._ _New Edition._
