the Gabled Farm. By ANNIE E. ARMSTRONG. With 6 page Illustrations by S. T. DADD. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._ "The book is one we can heartily recommend, for it is not only bright and interesting, but also pure and healthy in tone and teaching."--_The Lady_. "The doings of the heroine at the Gabled Farm are amusing in the extreme, and her escapades are always bringing her into trouble. Vera is a fine character, however, and our girls will all be the better for making her acquaintance."--_Teachers' Aid_. BY EDGAR PICKERING.

Illustrated with 6 page Pictures drawn by ALFRED PEARSE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._ "And a very good yarn it is, with not a dull page from first to last. There is a flavour of _Westward Ho!_ in this attractive book."--_Educational Review_. "An excellent story of adventure. Especially good is the description of Mexico and of the dungeons of the Inquisition, while Don Diego Polo is a delightful mixture of bravery and humour, and his rescue of the unfortunate prisoners is told with great spirit. The book is thoroughly to be recommended."--_Guardian_. Silas Verney: A Tale of the Time of Charles II. By EDGAR PICKERING. With 6 page Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._ "Wonderful as the adventures of Silas are, it must be admitted that they are very naturally worked out and very plausibly presented. Altogether this is an excellent story for boys."--_Saturday Review_. BY C. J. HYNE. The Captured Cruiser: or, Two Years from Land. By C. J. HYNE. With 6 page Illustrations by FRANK BRANGWYN. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._ "It is altogether a capital story, well illustrated."--_Saturday Review_. "The two lads and the two skippers are admirably drawn. Mr. Hyne has now secured a position in the first rank of writers of fiction for boys."--_Spectator_. Afloat at Last: A Sailor Boy's Log of his Life at Sea. By JOHN C. HUTCHESON. With 6 page Illustrations by W. H. OVEREND. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._ "As healthy and breezy a book as one could wish to put into the hands of a boy."--_Academy_.
