Henty, G. A. (George Alfred)
California -- Gold discoveries -- Juvenile fiction
"With its gentle elevation, its large-hearted
charity, its quiet satire of folly and baseness,
the story is one to win the affection and charm
the fancy not only of boys and maidens, but also
of grown men and women."--_Brit. Weekly._

A Story of Labrador. By HENRY FRITH. With 6
full-page Illustrations by J. SCHÖNBERG. Crown

"Mr. Frith's volume will be among those most read
and highest valued. The adventures among seals,
whales, and icebergs in Labrador will delight many
a young reader, and at the same time give him an
opportunity to widen his knowledge of the
Esquimaux, the heroes of many tales."--_Pall Mall
Gazette._
"A genial and rollicking tale. It is a regular
boys' book, and a very cheery and wholesome
one."--_Spectator._

fascinating book, worthy of its telling title.
There is, we venture to say, not a dull page in
the book, not a story which will not bear a second
reading."--_Guardian._
"Ogier the Dane, Robert of Sicily, and other
old-world heroes find their deeds embedded in
beautiful type, and garnished with animated
sketches by Gordon Browne. It is a charming
gift-book."--_Land and Water._

fighting with the Frenchmen in the beginning of
our century, with a fair sprinkling of fun and
frolic."--_Times._

is fast bringing him to the front rank among the
writers of boys' books."--_Daily News._
