Cyril Harley's Adventures on Both. By F. FRANKFORT MOORE. With 8 full-page Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1·50. The story belongs to a period when highways meant post-chaises, coaches, and highwaymen, and when high seas meant post-captains, frigates, privateers, and smugglers; and the hero--a boy who has some remarkable experiences upon both--tells his story with no less humour than vividness. He shows incidentally how little real courage and romance there frequently was about the favourite law-breakers of fiction, but how they might give rise to the need of the highest courage in others and lead to romantic adventures of an exceedingly exciting kind. A certain piquancy is given to the story by a slight trace of nineteenth century malice in the picturing of eighteenth century life and manners. "This is one of the best stories Mr. Moore has written, perhaps the very best. The exciting adventures among highwaymen and privateers are sure to attract boys."--_Spectator._ "It is pleasant to come across such honest work as _Highways and High Seas_. The author breathes a vein of genuine humour, his Captain Chink being a real achievement in characterization, and as some of his incidents are veritably thrilling."--_Scots Observer._ _UNDER HATCHES:_ Or, Ned Woodthorpe's Adventures. By F. FRANKFORT MOORE. With 8 full-page Illustrations by A. FORESTIER. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1·50. In rescuing another lad from drowning, Ned Woodthorpe is compelled to take refuge in a light-ship, from which he is involuntarily transferred to an outward-bound convict-ship. After a series of exciting events, in which Bowkitt, an innocent convict, plays a brilliant part, the convicts and mutinous crew obtain the mastery under the leadership of a fanatical gold-seeker. The officers, Ned, and Bowkitt are set adrift in the cutter, and eventually land on a desert island, to which also the mutineers find their way. By the want of discipline of the latter, opportunity is afforded for the daring recapture of the ship, and Ned and his friends escape from the island. "Mr. Moore has never shown himself so thoroughly qualified to write books for boys as he has done in _Under Hatches_."--_The Academy._ "A first-rate sea story, full of stirring incidents, and, from a literary point of view, far better written than the majority of boys' books."--_Pall Mall Gaz._ BY ALICE CORKRAN. * * * * * _DOWN THE SNOW STAIRS:_ Or, From Good-night to Good-morning.
