"The real charm of the volume lies in the illustrations. Every
one is a success. With birds and mice and insects the artist is
equally at home; but his birds above all are
inimitable."--_Academy._
"The author has done her work extremely well, and has conveyed
very many admirable lessons to young people. The illustrations
are capital--full of fun and genuine humour."--_Scotsman._

_DR. JOLLIFFE'S BOYS:_
A Tale of Weston School. By LEWIS HOUGH. With 6 full-page Pictures
in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3_s._ 6_d._
A story of school life which will be read with genuine interest,
especially as it exposes some of the dangers which may beset lads who are
ill instructed at home or have been thrown among unscrupulous companions.
The descriptions of the characters of the boys are vivid and truthful. The
narrative throughout is bright, easy, and lighted by touches of humour.
"Young people who appreciate 'Tom Brown's School-days' will
find this story a worthy companion to that fascinating book.
There is the same manliness of tone, truthfulness of outline,
avoidance of exaggeration and caricature, and healthy morality
as characterized the masterpiece of Mr. Hughes."--_Newcastle
Journal._
