_THE LADS OF LITTLE CLAYTON:_
Stories of Village Boy Life. By R. STEAD. With 4 full-page
Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 2_s._ 6_d._
These stories show that humble country boys are often as well worth
writing about as the young gentlemen of the public school or academy. The
stories will be found interesting and even exciting, and most of them have
the advantage of being founded on fact. A healthy moral tone pervades the
tales.
_FAMOUS DISCOVERIES BY SEA AND LAND._
With 4 full-page Illustrations by A. MONRO SMITH, in black and
tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 2_s._ 6_d._
Narratives of the stirring times when the great achievement of Columbus
had shown that beyond the Atlantic there were new worlds and oceans to
discover and explore--stories of bold adventure and heroic effort which,
while strictly historical, are invested with all the charm of romance.
"Either of these volumes will be a gift beyond price for
studious lads."--_Norwich Mercury._
"Such a volume may providentially stir up some youths by the
divine fire kindled by these 'great of old' to lay open other
lands, and show their vast resources."--_Perthshire
Advertiser._
_STIRRING EVENTS OF HISTORY._
With 4 full-page Illustrations by JOHN SCHOENBERG. Crown 8vo,
cloth elegant, 2_s._ 6_d._
The incidents in this volume have been drawn from times and countries wide
apart, the aim having been to present the young reader with a series of
historical pictures instructive in themselves, and thus to induce a taste
for further reading in the same direction.
"The volume will fairly hold its place among those which make
the smaller ways of history pleasant and attractive. It may
safely be selected as a gift-book, in which the interest will
not be exhausted with one reading."--_Guardian._
