=THE AMERICAN BOY’S BOOK OF SPORT.= OUT-DOOR GAMES FOR ALL SEASONS. By
DANIEL C. BEARD. With over 300 illustrations by the author. 8vo, $2.50.
This is an entirely new book by Mr. Beard, containing altogether
new matter of great interest to all young lovers of sport. It is a
companion volume to the author’s well-known “American Boy’s Handy
Book,” of which over twenty-five thousand copies have been sold, and
will undoubtedly rival that famous work in popularity as it does in
interest.
=THE AMERICAN BOY’S HANDY BOOK=; OR, WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT. By
DANIEL C. BEARD. With 360 illustrations by the author. Square 8vo,
$2.00.
“The book has this great advantage over its predecessors, that most of
the games, tricks, and other amusements described in it are new. It
treats of sports adapted to all seasons of the year; it is practical,
and it is well illustrated.”—_New York Tribune._
=THE AMERICAN GIRL’S HANDY BOOK.= By LENA and ADELIA B. BEARD. With
over 500 illustrations by the authors. Square 8vo, $2.00.
“I have put it in my list of good and useful books for young people,
as I have many requests for advice from my little friends and their
anxious mothers. I am most happy to commend your very ingenious and
entertaining book.”—LOUISA M. ALCOTT.
THOMAS NELSON PAGE’S TWO BOOKS
=AMONG THE CAMPS=; OR, YOUNG PEOPLE’S STORIES OF THE WAR. With 8
full-page illustrations. Square 8vo, $1.50.
“They are five in number, each having reference to some incident
of the Civil War. A vein of mingled pathos and humor runs through
them all, and greatly heightens the charm of them. It is the early
experience of the author himself, doubtless, which makes his pictures
of life in a Southern home during the great struggle so vivid and
truthful.”—_The Nation._
=TWO LITTLE CONFEDERATES.= With 8 full-page illustrations by KEMBLE and
REDWOOD. Square 8vo, $1.50.
“Mr. Page was ‘raised’ in Virginia, and he knows the ‘darkey’ of the
South better than any one who writes about them. And he knows ‘white
folks,’ too, and his stories, whether for old or young people, have
the charm of sincerity and beauty and reality.”—_Harper’s Young
People._
EDWARD EGGLESTON’S TWO POPULAR BOOKS
=THE HOOSIER SCHOOL-BOY.= Illustrated. 12mo, $1.00.
“‘The Hoosier School-Boy’ depicts some of the characteristics of
boy-life years ago on the Ohio; characteristics, however, that
were not peculiar to that section. The story presents a vivid and
interesting picture of the difficulties which in those days beset the
path of the youth aspiring for an education.”—_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
=QUEER STORIES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.= 12mo, $1.00.
“A very bright and attractive little volume for young readers. The
stories are fresh, breezy, and healthy, with a good point to them and
a good, sound American view of life and the road to success. The book
abounds in good feeling and good sense, and is written in a style of
homely art.”—_Independent._
