Mr. Hill, who is known as an absolutely accurate, authentic writer of American history and biography, has planned this book to give in interesting, readable form, suitable for young boys and girls, an accurate account of George Washington, not as a dignified President of the United States, but first as a child in his home, then as a boy in his adventurous surveying expeditions, and finally as a young man fighting with and later commanding troops in the American Revolution. The Red Caps of Lyons By HERBERT HAYENS. Illustrated, 12mo, Cloth, $1.50. The scene is Lyons at the outbreak of the French Revolution. The father of the young hero is accused of being in sympathy with the aristocrats, whence come innumerable perilous situations which are turned to the boy’s advantage by his own ingenuity and coolness. An important feature of the book is that any child who reads the story, while being thoroughly interested in the plot, will also get an excellent, authentic picture of the French Revolution. D.
