Kobo: A Story of the Russo-Japanese War
Strang, Herbert
Russo-Japanese War, 1904-1905 -- Juvenile fiction
"It is a pleasure to see in so beautiful and elegant a form one of the
great books of the world. The best Plutarch for young
readers."—_Literary World_.
"Shows admirable scholarship and judgment."—Critic.
*Pliny for Boys and Girls.*
The Natural History of Pliny the Elder.
Edited by JOHN S. WHITE.
With 52 illustrations. 4to. $2.00
"Mr. White’s selections are admirably made. He has gleaned in all
directions for his notes, and the result is one which reflects on him
great credit, and adds another to the number of juvenile books which may
be commended without reservation."—_Independent_.
"For the libraries of the young—and every boy and girl in the land
should collect a library of their own—these superb books have a special
adaptation; they open the classics to them."—_Boston Journal of
Education_.
*Herodotus for Boys and Girls.*
Edited by JOHN S. WHITE. With 50 illustrations. 8vo. $1.75
Library edition. 2 vols. 16vo. $2.50
"The book really contains those parts of Herodotus which a judicious
parent would most likely have his boys and girls acquainted with, and
Mr. White has succeeded in condensing these by omitting multitudes of
phrases inserted in the Greek text. The print is so large and clear
that no one need fear that it will foster a tendency to near-sightedness
on the part of boy or girl.—_Nation_.
*The Travels of Marco Polo.*
Edited for Boys and Girls, with explanatory notes and comments, by
THOMAS W. KNOX. With over 200 illustrations. 8vo. $1.75
"To the student of geography Marco Polo needs no introduction. He is
revered as the greatest of all travellers in the Middle Ages, and by
more than one careful geographer his work is believed to have led to the
discovery of the New World by the Hardy Mariner of Genoa.... The story
of his travels was received with incredulity, and he died while Europe
was gravely doubting its truth. It has remained for later generations
to establish the correctness of his narrative and accord him the praise
he so richly deserves."
*G. P. PUTNAM’S SONS, NEW YORK AND LONDON*
