Scotch Story--A Man's Story. Crown 8vo. 7_s._ 6_d._
"_Lady Barker is endowed with a rare and delicate gift
for narrating stories,--she has the faculty of throwing
even into her printed narrative a soft and pleasant tone,
which goes far to make the reader think the subject or the
matter immaterial, so long as the author will go on telling
stories for his benefit._"--ATHENÆUM.
STORIES ABOUT:--With Six Illustrations. Third Edition.
Extra fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._

Monkeys, Jamaica, Camp Life, Dogs, Boys, &c. "There is not

Second Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo. cloth gilt. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_We cannot too highly commend. It is exceedingly happy
and original in the plan, and the graceful fancies of
its pages, merry and pathetic turns, will be found
the best reading by girls of all ages, and by boys
too._"--TIMES.
SYBIL'S BOOK. Illustrated by S. E. WALLER. Second Edition.
Globe 8vo. gilt. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_Another of Lady Barker's delightful stories, and one of
the most thoroughly original books for girls that has been
written for many years. Grown-up readers will like it quite
as much as young people, and will even better understand
the rarity of such simple, natural, and unaffected
writing.... That no one can read the story without interest
is not its highest praise, for no one ought to be able to
lay it down without being the better girl or boy, or man or
woman, for the reading of it. Lady Barker has never turned
her fertile and fascinating pen to better account, and for
the sake of all readers we wish 'Sybil's Book's a wide
success._"--TIMES.
