=And Other Persian Hero Tales from Firdusi= =By Elizabeth D. Renninger= ILLUSTRATED BY J. L. S. WILLIAMS _$1.50 net_ The great hero stories of Persia retold from the Shah Naameh and beautifully illustrated. What Homer was to Greece and Virgil to Rome, Firdusi was to Persia, and there are no more thrilling stories of fighting and adventure than those of Rustem, the champion of the Heroic Age of Persia, quite different as they are from the tales of every other nation. Rustem was as brave and chivalrous as any of King Arthur’s knights and had just as many adventures and trials, and the story of his heroism and knightly courtesy, coupled with all the mysticism and splendor of the East, make this book a fascinating one. The book has a striking cover of Persian design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ =CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS= ------------------------------------------------------------------------ =The Boy’s Catlin= =My Life Among the Indians= =By George Catlin= =Edited and arranged for boys, with Biographical Introduction, by Mary Gay Humphreys= _With 16 illustrations front Catlin’s drawings_ _$1.50 net_ The most interesting parts of Catlin’s famous book about the North American Indians and their history and habits and customs in war, peace, and hunting, arranged for boys and superbly illustrated from reproductions of the author’s drawings.

Spelling, in quotations from original documents, has been left as printed, due to the idiosyncratic nature of the orthography of the various times. Occasionally, odd (to the modern eye) phrases are seemingly misquoted. Our 'as soon as' is most frequently spelled, in Hakluyt, 'assoone as', and where another variant (e.g., 'assoonas' on p. 319) appears, the typical spelling is provided.
