Books and reading -- Great Britain; Children's literature -- Bibliography
Fully illustrated, very easy and amusing, though China is better done
than Africa as being a less wide field.
=703. Early English Voyagers.= (Nelson) 5_s._
The voyages of Drake, Cavendish, and Dampier excellently told.
=704. Letters from Egypt.= By J. WHATELY. (Seeley).
A model of the style of thing.

=706. Egypt.= By STANLEY LANE-POOLE. (Sampson Low) 3_s._ 6_d._
=707. Denmark and Iceland.= By E. C. OTTÉ. (Sampson Low) 3_s._ 6_d._
=708. France.= By the Author of ‘Mlle. Mori.’ (Sampson Low) 3_s._ 6_d._

=716. Spain.= By WENTWORTH WEBSTER. (Sampson Low) 3_s._ 6_d._
=717. Sweden and Norway.= By F. H. WOODS. (Sampson Low) 3_s._ 6_d._
These are not so ornamental as Cassell’s series, though they have maps
and illustrations; but if I may judge from the two specimens I have
seen—namely, ‘France’ and ‘Germany’—they are full of interest and
information amusingly given, and would be excellent for any intelligent
person in need of knowledge of some special place. Very good for town or
club libraries where the readers rise above fiction.
=718. Great Waterfalls.= By JOHN GIBSON. (Nelson) 2_s._ 6_d._
Well-illustrated descriptions of cataracts and geysers.
=719. A Jolly Fellowship.= By F. STOCKTON. (Kegan Paul) 5_s._
The droll adventures of three American schoolboys who make a tour by
themselves in Florida and Cuba.
=720. Road to the North Pole.= (R.T.S.) Series I. and II., 1_s._ each.
An excellent abstract of the American Arctic expeditions of the ‘George
Henry,’ the ‘Polaris,’ and the ‘Jeannette.’
_ADVENTURES._
These are truthful adventures, in contradistinction to the
Kingston, Ballantyne, Verne, and other ‘books for boys’ which
abound. Where we should _lend_ those we should _give_ these.
=721. Real Stories from Many Lands.= By Lady VERNEY. (S.P.C.K.) 9_d._
The wonderful first navigation of the Colorado. A terrible conflict
between a horse and a tiger, and the escape of Grotius. Easy, and likely
to satisfy the children who ask ‘Is it true?’
=722. Perils of the Deep.= (S.P.C.K.) 4_s._
Collections of the most striking and memorable wrecks and other trials of
sailors. Just the book for men or boys invalided.
=723. Peril and Adventure.= By L. VALENTINE. (Warne) 2_s._
=724. Valour and Enterprise.= By L. VALENTINE. (Warne) 2_s._
=725. Brave Days of Old.= By L. VALENTINE. (Warne) 2_s._
=726. Daring and Doing.= By L. VALENTINE. (Warne) 2_s._
=727. On Honour’s Roll.= By L. VALENTINE. (Warne) 3_s._ 6_d._
