+TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO:
+
+Or, The Adventures of a Roman Boy. By Professor A. J. CHURCH, Author of
+"Stories from the Classics." With 12 full-page Illustrations by ADRIEN
+MARIE, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges,
+6_s._
+
+  Prof. Church has in this story sought to revivify that most
+  interesting period, the last days of the Roman Republic. Scarcely
+  recovered from the effects of her long struggle for supremacy in
+  Italy, and from the evils of the terrible strife of the nobles
+  against the people, Rome was engaged in suppressing the revolt of
+  Spartacus and the slaves and the insurrection of Sertorius, while at
+  the same time she was waging war with Mithradates, king of Pontus.
+  Meanwhile the pirates held almost undisputed possession of the
+  Mediterranean Sea, till Pompey eventually put them down in B.C. 67.
+  The hero of the story, Lucius Marius, is a young Roman who, through
+  the influence of Cicero, obtains an official appointment in Sicily.
+  He has a very chequered career, being now a captive in the hands of
+  Spartacus, again an officer on board a vessel detailed for the
+  suppression of the pirates, and anon a captive once more, on a pirate
+  ship. He escapes to Tarsus, gets a position under Deiotarus, tetrarch
+  of Galatia, is taken prisoner in the war with Mithradates, and
+  detained by the latter in Pontus for a number of years. There is thus
+  plenty of scope for the narration of stirring adventure and exciting
+  episode.
+
+  While boys will follow with the deepest interest the career of
+  Lucius, they will gain a clear insight into the history and life of
+  the ancient Roman world.

+THE UNIVERSE:
+
+OR THE INFINITELY GREAT AND THE INFINITELY LITTLE. A Sketch of
+Contrasts in Creation, and Marvels revealed and explained by Natural
+Science. By F. A. POUCHET, M.D. Illustrated by 273 Engravings on wood.
+8th Edition, medium 8vo, cloth elegant, gilt edges, 7_s._ 6_d._;
+morocco antique, 16_s._
+
+    "We can honestly commend this work, which is admirably, as it is
+    copiously illustrated."--_Times._
+
+    "As interesting as the most exciting romance, and a great deal more
+    likely to be remembered to good purpose."--_Standard._
+
+    "Scarcely any book in French or in English is so likely to
+    stimulate in the young an interest in the physical
+    phenomena."--_Fortnightly Review._

+
+CHEEP AND CHATTER:
+
+Or, LESSONS FROM FIELD AND TREE. By ALICE BANKS. With 54 Character
+Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Small 4to, cloth, handsome design on
+cover, 3_s._ 6_d._; gilt edges, 4_s._
+
+  About a dozen highly dramatic sketches or little stories, the actors
+  in which are birds, beasts, and insects. They are instructive, suited
+  to the capacities of young people, and very amusing. The character
+  drawings, with which the book is profusely illustrated, are
+  delightfully funny.
+
+    "The real charm of the volume lies in the illustrations. Every one
+    is a success. With birds and mice and insects the artist is equally
+    at home; but his birds above all are inimitable."--_Academy._
+
+    "This is a very pleasing book for the young. The morals of the
+    stories are very sound, and by no means obtrusive."--_Daily News._

+
+THE LION OF THE NORTH:
+
+A Tale of Gustavus Adolphus and the Wars of Religion. By G. A. HENTY.
+With 12 full-page Illustrations by JOHN SCHÖNBERG, in black and tint.
+Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6s.
+
+  In this story Mr. Henty gives the history of the first part of the
+  Thirty Years' War, a struggle unprecedented in length, in the fury
+  with which it was carried on, and in the terrible destruction and
+  ruin which it caused. The issue had its importance, which has
+  extended to the present day, as it established religious freedom in
+  Germany. The army of the chivalrous King of Sweden, the prop and
+  maintenance of the Protestant cause, was largely composed of
+  Scotchmen, and among these was the hero of the story. In such a time
+  of war and turmoil there was an opportunity for unlimited adventure.
+  But the chief interest of the tale turns on the great struggle
+  between Gustavus and his chief opponents Wallenstein, Tilly, and
+  Pappenheim. The story terminates shortly after the murder of
+  Wallenstein.
+
+
+WITH CLIVE IN INDIA:
+
+Or the Beginnings of an Empire. By G. A. HENTY, author of "Facing
+Death," "Under Drake's Flag," "By Sheer Pluck," &c. With 12 full-page
+Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine
+edges, 6_s_.
+
+  The period between the landing of Clive as a young writer in India
+  and the close of his career was critical and eventful in the extreme.
+  At its commencement the English were traders existing on sufferance
+  of the native princes. At its close they were masters of Bengal and
+  of the greater part of Southern India. The author has given a full
+  and accurate account of the historical events of that stirring time,
+  and battles and sieges follow each other in rapid succession, while
+  he combines with his narrative a tale of daring and adventure which
+  gives a lifelike interest to the volume.
+
+    "In this book Mr. Henty has contrived to exceed himself in stirring
+    adventures and thrilling situations, while the realities are
+    preserved. The pictures are by Mr. Gordon Browne, who may be
+    congratulated on their success in adding to the interest of the
+    book."--_Saturday Review._
+
+    "Among writers of stories of adventure for boys Mr. Henty stands in
+    the very first rank, and Mr. Gordon Browne occupies a similar place
+    with his pencil.... Those who know something about India will be
+    the most ready to thank Mr. Henty for giving them this instructive
+    volume to place in the hands of their children."--_Academy._
+
+    "He has taken a period of Indian History of the most vital
+    importance, and he has shown by what means the work was
+    accomplished. He has embroidered on the historical facts a story
+    which of itself is deeply interesting. Young people assuredly will
+    be delighted with the volume as a whole."--_Scotsman._
+
+
+BY G. A. HENTY.
+
+    "Mr. Henty as a boy's story-teller stands in the very foremost
+    rank."--_Glasgow Herald._
+
+
+THROUGH THE FRAY:
+
+A Story of the Luddite Riots. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 full-page
+Illustrations by H. M. PAGET, in blank and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, olivine edges, 6_s_.
+
+  The author in this story has followed the lines which he worked out
+  so successfully in "_Facing Death_." As in that story he shows
+  that there are victories to be won in peaceful fields, and that
+  steadfastness and tenacity are virtues which tell in the long run.
+  The story is laid in Yorkshire at the commencement of the present
+  century, when the high price of food caused by the war and the
+  introduction of machinery drove the working-classes to desperation
+  and caused them to band themselves in that wide-spread organization
+  known as the Luddite Society. There is an abundance of adventure in
+  the tale, but its chief interest lies in the character of the hero,
+  and the manner in which by a combination of circumstances he is put
+  on trial for his life, but at last comes victorious "through the
+  fray."
+
+
+TRUE TO THE OLD FLAG:
+
+A Tale of the American War of Independence. By G. A. HENTY. With 12
+full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE in black and tint. Crown 8vo,
+cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+  Owing to the unsuccessful termination of the war between Great
+  Britain and her American colonies, the subject is one which English
+  writers have for the most part avoided. In the present volume the
+  author has gone to the accounts of English officers who took part in
+  the conflict, and lads will find that in no war in which British
+  soldiers have been engaged did they behave with greater courage and
+  good conduct. The historical portion of the book being accompanied
+  with numerous thrilling adventures with the redskins on the shores of
+  Lake Huron, a story of exciting interest is interwoven with the
+  general narrative and carried through the book.
+
+    "Mr. Henty undoubtedly possesses the secret of writing eminently
+    successful historical tales: and those older than the lads whom the
+    author addresses in his preface, may read with pleasure a story
+    which combines with the personal adventures of the youthful hero,
+    an accurate and interesting account of the American War of
+    Independence."--_Academy._
+
+    "Mr. G. A. Henty's extensive personal experience of adventures and
+    moving incidents by flood and field, combined with a gift of
+    picturesque narrative, make his books always welcome visitors in
+    the home circle."--_Daily News._
+
+    "Very superior in every way. The book is almost unique in its class
+    in having illustrative maps."--_Saturday Review._
+
+
+BY G. A. HENTY.
+
+    "Mr. Henty's books never fail to interest boy readers."--_Academy._
+
+
+IN FREEDOM'S CAUSE:
+
+A Story of Wallace and Bruce. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 full-page
+Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+  In this story the author relates the stirring tale of the Scottish
+  War of Independence and of the exploits of Wallace and Bruce. The
+  extraordinary valour and personal prowess of these historical
+  characters rival the deeds of the mythical heroes of chivalry Roland
+  and Arthur, and indeed at one time Wallace was ranked with these
+  legendary personages. The researches of modern historians have shown,
+  however, that he was a living, breathing man--and a valiant champion.
+  The hero of the tale fought under both Wallace and Bruce, and while
+  the strictest historical accuracy has been maintained with respect to
+  public events, the work is full of "hairbreadth 'scapes" and wild
+  adventure.
+
+    "Mr. Henty has broken new ground as an historical novelist. His
+    tale of the days of Wallace and Bruce is full of stirring action,
+    and will commend itself to boys."--_Athenæum._
+
+    "It is written in the author's best style. Full of the wildest and
+    most remarkable achievements, it is a tale of great interest, which
+    a boy, once he has begun it, will not willingly put on one
+    side."--_The Schoolmaster._
+
+    "Scarcely anywhere have we seen in prose a more lucid and
+    spirit-stirring description of Bannockburn than the one with which
+    the author fittingly closes his volume."--_Dumfries Standard._
+
+
+UNDER DRAKE'S FLAG.
+
+A Tale of the Spanish Main. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by 12 full-page
+Pictures by GORDON BROWNE in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
+olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+  A story of the days when England and Spain struggled for the
+  supremacy of the sea, and England carried off the palm. The heroes
+  sail as lads with Drake in the expedition in which the Pacific Ocean
+  was first seen by an Englishman from a tree-top on the Isthmus of
+  Panama, and in his great voyage of circumnavigation. The historical
+  portion of the story is absolutely to be relied upon, but this,
+  although very useful to lads, will perhaps be less attractive than
+  the great variety of exciting adventure through which the young
+  adventurers pass in the course of their voyages.
+
+    "A stirring book of Drake's time, and just such a book as the youth
+    of this maritime country are likely to prize highly."--_Daily
+    Telegraph._
+
+    "Ned in the coils of the boa-constrictor is a wonderful picture. A
+    boy must be hard to please if he wishes for anything more
+    exciting."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
+
+    "It is well illustrated, and is a real good story really well
+    told."--_Punch._
+
+    "A book of adventure, where the hero meets with experience enough
+    one would think to turn his hair gray."--_Harper's Monthly
+    Magazine._

+BY G. A. HENTY.
+
+    "Among writers of stories of adventure for boys Mr. Henty stands in

+
+FOR NAME AND FAME:
+
+Or, Through Afghan Passes. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 full-page Illustrations
+by GORDON BROWNE, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 5_s._
+
+  At a moment when Afghanistan is again the centre of interest, this
+  story of the last war in that country is especially appropriate. The
+  hero is apprenticed to a Yarmouth smacksman whose boat is run down in
+  the North Sea by a ship bound for the East. After being wrecked and
+  going through many stirring adventures among the Malays, he finds his
+  way to Calcutta, and enlists there in a regiment on the point of
+  going north to join the army forming at the mouths of the Afghan
+  passes. He accompanies the force under General Roberts to the Peiwar
+  Kotal, is wounded, taken prisoner and carried to Cabul, he is present
+  at the massacre of the mission, and at the subsequent fights round
+  Cabul. He is then transferred to Candahar, and takes part in the
+  battle of Maiwand, and the final defeat of the army of Ayoub Khan.
+
+
+THE DRAGON AND THE RAVEN:
+
+Or, The Days of King Alfred. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 full-page
+Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND, R.I., in black and tint. Crown 8vo,
+cloth elegant, 5_s._
+
+  In this story the author gives an account of the desperate struggle
+  between Saxon and Dane for supremacy in England, and presents a vivid
+  picture of the misery and ruin to which the country was reduced by
+  the ravages of the sea-wolves. The historical incidents of the
+  struggle, as related by contemporary writers, are faithfully adhered
+  to. The hero of the story, a young Saxon thane, takes part in all the
+  battles fought by King Alfred, and the incidents in his career are
+  unusually varied and exciting. He is driven from his home, takes to
+  the sea and resists the Danes in their own element, and being pursued
+  by them up the Seine, is present at the long and desperate siege of
+  Paris.
+
+
+YARNS ON THE BEACH.
+
+By G. A. HENTY. With 2 full-page Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra,
+1_s._ 6_d._
+
+  These "yarns" of manly prowess and bold adventure are attractive
+  because of their liveliness, and the change from one tale of
+  adventure to another provides something to suit different moods or
+  varying tastes. It is a capital book for a young reader, or a reader
+  who retains a youthful fancy and a fresh appreciation, and seeks
+  diversion from study or work.
+
+
+BY G. A. HENTY.
+
+    "Mr. Henty is one of the best of story-tellers for young
+    people."--_Spectator._
+
+
+ST. GEORGE FOR ENGLAND:
+
+A Tale of Cressy and Poitiers. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 full-page
+Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, 5_s._
+
+  No portion of English history is more crowded with great events than
+  that of the reign of Edward III. Cressy and Poitiers laid France
+  prostrate at the feet of England; the Spanish fleet was dispersed and
+  destroyed. Europe was ravaged by the dreadful plague known as the
+  Black Death, and France was the scene of the terrible peasant rising
+  called the Jacquerie. All these stirring events are treated by the
+  author in _St. George for England._ The hero of the story, although
+  of good family, begins life as a London apprentice, but after
+  countless adventures and perils, becomes by valour and good conduct
+  the squire, and at last the trusted friend of the Black Prince.
+
+    "Mr. Henty, as a boy's story teller stands in the very foremost
+    rank. With plenty of scope to work upon he has done his work well,
+    producing a strong story at once instructive and entertaining."--
+    _Glasgow Herald._
+
+    "A story of very great interest for boys. In his own forcible style
+    the author has endeavoured to show that determination and
+    enthusiasm can accomplish marvellous results; that courage is
+    generally accompanied by magnanimity and gentleness, and that if
+    not in itself the highest of virtues, it is the parent of nearly
+    all the others, since but few of them can be practised without
+    it."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
+
+    "Mr. Henty has developed for himself a type of historical novel for
+    boys which bids fair to supplement, on their behalf, the historical
+    labours of Sir Walter Scott in the land of fiction."--_Standard._
+
+
+BY SHEER PLUCK:
+
+A Tale of the Ashanti War. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 full-page
+Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, 5_s._
+
+  The Ashanti Campaign seems but an event of yesterday, but it happened
+  when the generation now rising up were too young to have made
+  themselves acquainted with its incidents. The author has woven, in a
+  tale of thrilling interest, all the details of the campaign, of which
+  he was himself a witness. His hero, after many exciting adventures in
+  the interior, finds himself at Coomassie just before the outbreak of
+  the war, is detained a prisoner by the king, is sent down with the
+  army which invaded the British Protectorate, escapes, and accompanies
+  the English expedition on their march to Coomassie.
+
+    "Mr. Henty keeps up his reputation as a writer of boys' stories.
+    'By Sheer Pluck' will be eagerly read."--_Athenæum._
+
+    "No one could have done the work better than he has done it. The
+    lad must be very difficult to satisfy who is not satisfied with
+    this."--_Scotsman._
+
+    "The book is one which will not only sustain, but add to Mr.
+    Henty's reputation. The illustrations are particularly
+    good."--_Standard._
+
+    "Written with a simple directness, force, and purity of style
+    worthy of Defoe. Morally, the book is everything that could be
+    desired, setting before the boys a bright and bracing ideal of the
+    English gentleman."--_Christian Leader._
+
+
+BY G. A. HENTY.
+
+    "The brightest of all the living writers whose office it is to
+    enchant the boys."--_Christian Leader._
+
+
+FACING DEATH:
+
+Or the Hero of the Vaughan Pit. A Tale of the Coal Mines. By G. A.
+HENTY. With 8 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE in black and
+tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 5_s._
+
+  "Facing Death" is a story with a purpose. It is intended to show that
+  a lad who makes up his mind firmly and resolutely that he will rise
+  in life, and who is prepared to face toil and ridicule and hardship
+  to carry out his determination, is sure to succeed. The hero of the
+  story, though only a colliery lad, is a character that boys will
+  delight in. He is a typical British boy, dogged, earnest, generous,
+  and though "shamefaced" to a degree, is ready to face death in the
+  discharge of duty. His is a character for imitation by boys in every
+  station.
+
+    "The tale is well written and well illustrated, and there is much
+    reality in the characters."--_Athenæum._
+
+    "If any father, godfather, clergyman, or schoolmaster is on the
+    look-out for a good book to give as a present to a boy who is worth
+    his salt, this is the book we would recommend."--_Standard._
+
+

+
+NAT THE NATURALIST:
+
+Or a Boy's Adventures in the Eastern Seas. By G. MANVILLE FENN, author
+of "The Golden Magnet," "In the King's Name," &c. Illustrated by 8
+full-page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, 5_s._
+
+  This is a pleasant story of a lad who, though he is brought up in a
+  strictly quiet fashion by an aunt, has a great desire to go abroad to
+  seek specimens in natural history, and has that desire gratified by
+  an uncle who comes home from distant lands, whence he brings a
+  beautiful collection. The boy Nat and his uncle Dick go on a voyage
+  to the remoter islands of the Eastern seas, and their adventures
+  there are told in a truthful and vastly interesting fashion, which
+  will at once attract and maintain the earnest attention of young
+  readers. The descriptions of Mr. Ebony, their black comrade, and of
+  the scenes of savage life, are full of genuine humour.
+
+    "Mr. Fenn has hit upon a capital idea. This is among the best of
+    the boys' books of the season."--_The Times._
+
+    "We can conceive of no more attractive present for a young
+    naturalist."--_Land and Water._
+
+    "This sort of book encourages independence of character, develops
+    resource, and teaches a boy to keep his eyes open."--_Saturday
+    Review._
+
+    "The late Lord Palmerston used to say that one use of war was to
+    teach geography: such books as this teach it in a more harmless and
+    cheaper way."--_Athenæum._
+
+    "One of the best issues, if not absolutely the best, of Defoe's
+    work which has ever appeared."--_The Standard._
+
+
+THE LIFE AND SURPRISING ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE.
+
+BY DANIEL DEFOE.
+
+Beautifully Printed, and Illustrated by above 100 Pictures Designed by
+Gordon Browne.
+
+Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+  There have been countless editions of "Robinson Crusoe," and they
+  have mostly been imperfect, inasmuch as they have been so largely
+  altered from the original text that the language in many instances
+  has not been that of Defoe but of his revisers. The present volume
+  has been carefully printed from the original edition, and all
+  obsolete or little known terms and obscure phrases are explained in
+  brief foot-notes. The "Editing" is not a corruption or pretended
+  improvement of Defoe's great work.
+
+    "The best edition I have come across for years. If you know a boy
+    who has not a 'Robinson Crusoe,' just glance at any one of the
+    hundred illustrations in this edition and you will go no further
+    afield in search of a present for that fortunate
+    youth."--_Truth._
+
+    "Of the many editions of Defoe's immortal story that have passed
+    through our hands in recent years, we are inclined to rank this the
+    most desirable as a present for a good boy. Gordon Browne's
+    illustrations satisfy the high expectation we had formed from his
+    work of last year."--_The Academy._
+
+    "One may be pardoned for growing enthusiastic over the ideal
+    edition which Messrs. Blackie have published this season. Well
+    printed, handsomely bound, and beautifully illustrated, the volume
+    may well become the standard edition of Defoe's evergreen
+    work."--_Edinburgh Courant._

+A Tale of the Slave Squadron. By HARRY COLLINGWOOD. With 8 full-page
+Illustrations by J. SCHÖNBERG, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth
+extra, 5_s_.
+
+  The scene of this tale is laid on the west coast of Africa, and in
+  the lower reaches of the Congo; the characteristic scenery of the
+  great river being delineated with wonderful accuracy and completeness
+  of detail. The hero of the story--a midshipman on board one of the
+  ships of the slave squadron--after being effectually laughed out of
+  his boyish vanity, develops into a lad possessed of a large share of
+  sound common sense, the exercise of which enables him to render much
+  valuable service to his superior officers in unmasking a most daring
+  and successful ruse on the part of the slavers. There is the true
+  flavour of salt water, the true scent of the sea-breeze in every
+  page, while not a single expression or suggestion is to be found
+  throughout the book to which the most fastidious reader could object.

+A Story of the South Pacific. By HARRY COLLINGWOOD. Illustrated by 8
+full-page Pictures by C. J. STANILAND and J. R. WELLS, in black and
+tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 5_s._
+
+  This story details the adventures of a lad who was found in his
+  infancy on board a wreck, and is adopted by, and brought up as, a

+  out of their ship in the South Pacific, and experiencing great
+  hardship and suffering in their boats, are picked up by a pirate brig
+  and taken to the "Pirate Island." After many thrilling adventures,
+  they ultimately succeed in effecting their escape. The story depicts
+  both the Christian and the manly virtues in such colours as will
+  cause them to be admired--and therefore imitated.

+GULLIVER'S TRAVELS.
+
+A NEW EDITION, beautifully printed, and illustrated by more than 100
+pictures from designs by GORDON BROWNE. In crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
+olivine edges, 5_s._
+
+  The wonderful travels of Gulliver "into several remote regions of the
+  world" are still as fresh and entertaining as when they were first
+  presented to the public more than a hundred and fifty years ago. In
+  this edition the text has been judiciously curtailed by the omission
+  of several passages quite unsuited for the perusal of the young or
+  for family reading; and foot-notes to the text have been added to
+  explain and throw light on those allusions, references, obsolete
+  words, &c., which a young reader would not understand. The numerous
+  vivacious and amusing illustrations by Gordon Browne greatly add to
+  the attractions of the narrative.

+
+  The career of Grant Denison ("Brownsmith's Boy") embraces for the
+  most part the home adventures of an orphan, who, having formed the
+  acquaintance of an eccentric old gardener, accepts his offer of a
+  home and finds that there is plenty of romance in a garden, and much
+  excitement even in a journey now and then to town. In a half-savage
+  lad he finds a friend who shows his love and fidelity principally by
+  pretending to be an enemy. This boy, however, is always staunch, and
+  saves his companion from many a peril, and in more than one fierce
+  fight aids him against the cruel oppression of older lads. In
+  "Brownsmith's Boy" there is abundance of excitement and trouble
+  within four walls.

+
+  "Bunyip Land" is the story of Joseph Carstairs, son of an eminent
+  botanist, who, in his search for new plants for the London
+  nurserymen, ventures into the interior of New Guinea. Years pass
+  away, and Professor Carstairs does not return; and though he is
+  supposed to be dead, his young wife and son, who live at a station in
+  Australia, refuse to believe this to be the case; and as soon as he
+  is old enough young Joe goes in search of his father, accompanied by
+  Jimmy, a native black. They journey into the interior, which Jimmy
+  believes to be full of the native demons or bunyips, as he calls
+  them, hence the title Bunyip Land. Their adventures are many and
+  exciting, but after numerous perils they discover the professor a
+  prisoner among the blacks, and bring him home in triumph.
+
+    "Mr. Fenn deserves the thanks of everybody for the two books
+    'Bunyip Land,' and 'Menhardoc,' that he contributes for the

+
+    "'Bunyip Land' and 'The Golden Magnet,' are two of the best tales of

+  This is a graphic narrative of factory life in the Black country. The

+  inventors, go down to Arrowfield to set up "a works." They find,
+  however, that the workmen, through prejudice and ignorance, are
+  determined to have no new-fangled machinery. But Cob and his uncles
+  are of the genuine kind that never know defeat, and war is declared.
+  The workmen attack and the masters defend the works by night and by
+  day, in spite of which the machinery is destroyed, the workshops
+  almost blown up, and endless attempts made to do injury. After a
+  series of narrow escapes and stirring encounters, in which both sides
+  get worsted in turn, the workmen by degrees find that no malice is
+  borne against them, and at last admiration takes the place of hatred.
+  A great business is built up, and its foundation is laid on the

+MENHARDOC:
+
+A Story of Cornish Nets and Mines. By G. MANVILLE FENN. With 8
+full-page Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND, R.I., in black and tint.
+Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 5_s._
+
+  The scene of this story of boyish aspiration and adventure is laid
+  among the granite piles and tors of Cornwall. Here amongst the hardy,
+  honest fishermen and miners the two sons of Mr. Temple meet with Will
+  Marion, the nephew of a retired purser of the Royal Navy and owner of
+  several fishing-boats. The London boys are inducted into the secrets
+  of fishing in the great bay, they learn how to catch mackerel,
+  pollack, and conger with the line, and are present at the hauling of
+  the nets, although not without incurring many serious risks. There is
+  a good deal of quaint character throughout, and the sketches of
+  Cornish life and local colouring are based upon experience in the
+  bay, whose fishing village is called here Menhardoc. This is a
+  thoroughly English story of phases of life but little touched upon in
+  boys' literature up to the present time.
+
+    "They are real living boys, with the virtues and faults which
+    generally characterize the transition stage between boyhood and
+    manhood. The Cornish fishermen are drawn from life, they are racy
+    of the soil, salt with the sea-water, and they stand out from the
+    pages in their jerseys and sea-boots all sprinkled with silvery
+    pilchard scales.... Those who buy it as a Christmas gift for their
+    juvenile relatives will find it a pleasant companion for their own
+    idle hours when the boys have done with it."--_Spectator._
+
+    "Mr. Fenn has written many books in his time; he has not often
+    written one which for genuine merit as a story for young people
+    will exceed this."--_Scotsman._

+  An interesting story for young people, showing by the narrative of

+
+  Narratives, chiefly, of the stirring times when the great achievement

+
+STIRRING EVENTS IN HISTORY.
+
+With 4 full-page Illustrations by JOHN SCHÖNBERG. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, 2_s._ 6_d._
+
+  In history there are some events which stand out as eminently
+  notable, either from their importance, their intrinsic interest, or
+  the greatness of the men or women concerned in them. In this work a
+  number of these events have been gathered together and thrown into
+  the form of short narratives. The incidents have been drawn from
+  times and countries wide apart, the aim having been to give variety
+  rather than a finished view of any definite period--to present the
+  young reader with a series of historical pictures which, while
+  instructive in themselves, may induce a taste for further reading in
+  the same direction.
+
+
+STORIES OF THE SEA IN FORMER DAYS:
+
+Narratives of Wreck and Rescue. With 4 full-page Illustrations by FRANK
+FELLER. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._ 6_d._
+
+  While no attempt is made in "Stories of the Sea" to paint the
+  sailor's life in glowing colours, or invest it with a glamour of
+  romance, the narratives selected are full of such thrilling incidents
+  of peril, suffering, and shipwreck, as are always deeply interesting
+  to the young reader.
+
+    "Next to an original sea-tale of sustained interest come
+    well-sketched collections of maritime disaster and suffering which
+    awaken the sympathies by the realism of fact. 'Stories of the Sea,'
+    are a very good specimen of the kind, and some of the chapters
+    which are pleasantly written are altogether fresh to us."--_The
+    Times._
+
+    "Many boys will appreciate this book, as the adventures of
+    impossible boy pirates are not equal in interest to much of the
+    simple truth here told."--_Athenæum._
+
+
+ADVENTURES IN FIELD, FLOOD, & FOREST:
+
+Stories of Danger and Daring. With 4 full-page Illustrations by FRANK
+FELLER. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._ 6_d._
+
+  Incidents of daring, hardship, and danger have ever had, and
+  doubtless always will have a powerful fascination for the youthful
+  mind, and these narratives of real personal experience in "Field,
+  Flood, and Forest," while in no sense fictitious, will be found quite
+  as exciting and more truly interesting than the most cunningly
+  devised fables.
+
+    "One of the series of books for young people which Messrs. Blackie
+    excel in producing. The editor has beyond all question succeeded
+    admirably. The present book cannot fail to be read with interest

+by J. J. PROCTOR. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._
+
+  A thrilling-little drama of real life, of child life, of the life of
+  a poor neighbourhood with sordid surroundings, and perhaps fuller of
+  suggestion than many more pretentious tales. It stirs the emotions by
+  representing actual scenes and possible people, with the
+  peculiarities and habits that belong to them and make them easily
+  recognized.

+MISS GRANTLEY'S GIRLS,

+by GORDON BROWNE. Cr. 8vo, cloth ex., 1_s._ 6_d._
+
+  The stories that Miss Grantley tells to her girls, during pleasant
+  evenings after school, are such as are likely to prove attractive to
+  the girls in other schools. They are small romances of real life with
+  a good deal of genuine pathos and exciting incident in them, and are
+  eminently suited for family reading or for tales to tell out of
+  school as Miss Grantley told them.

+
+  "Hetty Gray" is the story of a girl who, having been found as an

+  the death of her adoptive mother Hetty, who is left unprovided for,
+  is taken by the widow's relatives to be educated with a view to her

+
+  Tells the story of two orphan girls, who, at an early age, are left
+  in a miserable den of London to struggle for a living. The
+  vicissitudes of the little sisters are narrated with touching

+
+  "A Waif of the Sea" deals very pathetically with the sorrows and
+  trials of children, and of mothers who are separated from their
+  children. The narrative is full of human interest, and the lives and
+  struggles of the people of a poor London neighbourhood are well
+  portrayed.
+
+    "Little Birdie is a beautiful child-character, with whom no one can
+    come in contact without feeling purer and fresher for life's
+    work."--_Glasgow News._
+
+    "This is a very touching and pretty tale of town and country, full

+
+  A pleasing narration of the failures of Peggy Fenwick, who, before
+  her sixteenth birthday, had to assume the responsible position of
+  head of her father's house. The story abounds in capitally told
+  domestic adventures; and while it has an excellent moral purpose, it
+  is brimful of fun and never flags in interest.
+
+    "Instead of drawing a heroine of romance Esmé Stuart may be
+    commended for producing a girl far more true to real life, who will
+    put no nonsense into young heads."--_Graphic._
+

+8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._ 6_d._
+
+  This is a story of the time of "Harold, the last of the Saxon Kings."
+  The scene is laid mostly within the house of a Saxon Thane, where
+  Gytha is a little slave girl. Though mainly a domestic tale, we yet
+  get a glimpse of the stirring events taking place in the country at
+  that period. We hear of the death of the "Confessor," the election of
+  Harold, his fight with the Danes and defeat at Hastings; and the
+  picture is presented to us of England subsiding into peace under the
+  sway of the Conqueror. A good deal is learned of Saxon manners and
+  customs, and both boys and girls will delight to read of the home
+  life of Hilda and Gytha, and of the brave deeds of the impulsive
+  Gurth and the faithful Leofric.

+
+  This is an historical tale. "My Mistress the Queen" is Mary, daughter
+  of James II., into whose service the narrator, a girl of 16, enters
+  just before the marriage of Mary to William III. The descriptions are
+  graphic, and the views of historic personages and of manners at the
+  courts of Charles II. and William III. accurate and life-like. The
+  language is simple, and imitative of the quaint quiet style of that
+  period.

+
+THE FAMILY FAILING.
+
+By DARLEY DALE, author of "Little Bricks," &c. With 4 full-page
+Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 2_s._ 6_d._
+
+  This is a lively and amusing account of a family, the members of
+  which while they lived in affluence were remarkable for their
+  discontent, but who, after the loss of fortune has compelled them to
+  seek a more humble home in Jersey, become less selfish, and develop
+  very excellent traits of character under the pressure of comparative
+  adversity. Their escapades and narrow escapes from serious dangers
+  form an exciting part of the narrative, which contains many pleasant
+  episodes of life in the Channel Islands.
+
+    "This is a cheery tale. The lesson is Content, and very nicely the

+
+THE NEW BOY AT MERRITON. By JULIA GODDARD.
+
+    "A story of English school life. It is an attempt to teach a

+    story."--_School Board Chronicle._
+
+
+THE BLIND BOY OF DRESDEN.

+    test, and became convinced in the end that it is better to live the
+    life of a wealthy merchant in a great city than to endure hardship
+    by choice."--_School Board Chronicle._
+
+
+FIRESIDE FAIRIES and FLOWER FANCIES: STORIES FOR GIRLS.

+    capital book for boys."--_School Guardian._
+
+
+JACK'S VICTORY: AND OTHER STORIES ABOUT DOGS.
+

+    took part in. Besides 'Jack's Victory' there are ten other stories
+    about dogs in this volume."--_The Schoolmistress._
+
+
+THE STORY OF A KING, TOLD BY ONE OF HIS SOLDIERS.
+
+    "This book recounts the boyhood and reign of Charles XII. of

+    victories he won are well described, and equally so are the
+    misfortunes which latterly came on him and his kingdom through his
+    uncontrollable wilfulness."--_Aberdeen Journal._
+
+
+LITTLE DANIEL: A Story of a Flood on the Rhine.

+    well as George Eliot so graphically wrote of _The Mill on the
+    Floss_."--_Governess._
+
+
+PRINCE ALEXIS: A Tale of Old Russia.
+
+This is a legend wrought into a story, rendering a fiction of Life in
+Russia, something more than a hundred years ago; a state of things

+incredible."

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
