_16mo. Handsomely Illustrated. In sets or separate._
RICH AND HUMBLE; or, the Mission of Bertha Grant. $1.25.
“No author is more welcomed by the young, and no books can be more
safely placed in their hands. His writings, as in this volume of ‘Rich
and Humble,’ inspire the reader with a lofty purpose. They show the
wrong courses of life only to present, by contrast, the true and right
path, and make it the way which youth will wish to walk in, because of
its being the most pleasant and inviting.”--_Mass. Teacher._
IN SCHOOL AND OUT; or, The Conquest of Richard Grant. $1.25.
“Oliver Optic is as well known and as highly appreciated among the
young people of our land as Charles Dickens is among the older folks.
‘In School and Out’ is equal to anything he has written. It is a
story that will deeply interest boys particularly, and make them
better.”--_Notices of the Press._
WATCH AND WAIT; or, The Young Fugitives. $1.25.
The author has used, to the best advantage, the many exciting incidents
