Boys -- Conduct of life -- Juvenile fiction; New York (N.Y.) -- Juvenile fiction
Gascoyne the Sandalwood Trader. By R. M. BALLANTYNE. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated, price $1.00.
"One of the best stories of seafaring life and adventure which have
appeared this season. Entertaining in the highest degree from
beginning to end, and full of adventure which is all the livelier for
its close connection with history."--Spectator.
Two Years Before the Mast. A Personal Narrative of Life at Sea. By R.
H. DANA, JR. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"One of the very best books for boys that we have seen for a long
time: its author stands far in advance of any other writer for boys as
a teller of stories of the sea."--The Standard.
The Young Rajah. A Story of Indian Life. By W. H. G. KINGSTON. 12mo,
cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"This story will place the author at once in the front rank. It is
full of life and adventure, and the interest is sustained without a
break from first to last."--Standard.
How Jack Mackenzie Won His Epaulettes. A Story of the Crimean War. By
GORDON STABLES. 12mo, cloth, illustrated price $1.00.
"This must rank among the few undeniably good boys' books, He will be
a very dull boy indeed who lays it down without wishing that it had
gone on for at least 100 pages more."--Mail.
The King's Pardon. A Story of Land and Sea. By ROBERT OVERTON. 12mo,
cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"An excellent story, the interest being sustained from first to last.
This is, both in its intention and the way the story is told, one of
the best books of its kind which has come before us this
year."--Saturday Review.
Tinder the Lone Star. A Story of the Revolution in Nicaragua. By
HERBERT HAYNES. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"We have not of late come across a historical fiction, whether
intended for boys or for men, which deserves to be so heartily and
unreservedly praised as regards plot, incidents, and spirit as this
book. It is its author's masterpiece as yet."--Spectator.
Geoff and Jim: A Story of School Life. By ISMAY THORN. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated, price 75 cents.
"This is a prettily told story of the life spent by two motherless
bairns at a small preparatory school. Both Geoff and Jim are very
lovable characters, only Jim is the more so; and the scrapes he gets
into and the trials he endures will, no doubt, interest a large circle
of young readers."--Church Times.
Jack: A Topsy Turvy Story. By C. M. CRAWLEY-BOEVEY. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated, price 75 cents.
"The Illustrations deserve particular mention, as they add largely to
the interest of this amusing volume for children. Jack falls asleep
with his mind full of the subject of the fishpond, and is very much
surprised presently to find himself an inhabitant of Waterworld, where
he goes through wonderful and edifying adventures. A handsome and
pleasant book."--Literary World.
Black Beauty. The Autobiography of a Horse. By ANNA SEWELL. 12mo,
cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents.
