GOOD BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS.

_THE EXPLOITS OF MYLES STANDISH._ By HENRY JOHNSON (Muirhead Robertson),
author of "From Scrooby to Plymouth Rock," etc. Illustrated. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50.

This story of the exploits of Myles Standish throws a clearer
light upon a heroic figure in our earliest history, and it has
an epic quality which will appeal to old and young. While the
facts of history are presented, the author has adroitly
reconstructed the little-known earlier years of Standish's
life, basing his imaginative work upon the probabilities of
history. The result is for the most part history told in the
form of a thrilling and absorbing story, a tale which includes
war and adventures, and also illustrates the sterling and
heroic qualities which contributed so powerfully to the
preservation of the Plymouth colony. The book is one to be read
by every young American.
