1 JED. A Boy's Adventures in the Army of '61-'65.
A story of battle and prison, of peril and escape. By WARREN LEE GOSS,
author of "The Soldier's Story of his Captivity at Andersonville and
other Prisons," "The Recollections of a Private" (in the Century War
Series). Fully illustrated. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50.
In this story the author has aimed to furnish true pictures of scenes in
the great Civil War, and not to produce sensational effects. The
incidents of the book are real ones, drawn in part from the writer's
personal experiences and observations as a soldier of the Union, during
that war. The descriptions of the prison are especially truthful, for in
them the author briefly tells what he himself saw. One of the best war
stories ever written. Boys will read it with avidity.

From the French of Charles Beaugrand. By DAVID SHARP, M.B., F.L.S.,

A fascinating narrative of travel and adventure, in which is introduced
much valuable information on natural history subjects, and a reading of
the book will tend to foster an interest in zoölogy.

5 ROLF AND HIS FRIENDS.
By J A K, author of "Birchwood," "Fitch Club," etc. Illustrated, 12mo.

A healthful, stimulating story, showing the advantage that every boy

valuable leaven of information.
