In this volume are brought together a large number of the
miscellaneous stories written from time to time for the _Boy's Own
Paper_ by Talbot Baines Reed. The collection is prefaced by an
appreciation of Mr. Reed as boy and man, and it contains some of
his best work and his brightest wit. There are seven sketches of
life at Parkhurst School; eleven character delineations of "Boys we
have known"--such as "The Bully," "The Sneak"; twelve
representations of "Boys of English History"; and seven other short
stories of boy life and interest.

The Boy's Own Series.

_A Series of Books for Boys by well-known Writers, containing Stories of
School Life, Adventures on Sea and Land, Stories of Old England, &c.
Well illustrated, handsomely bound, cloth gilt, large crown 8vo, 2s.
6d._

+BOB MARCHANT'S SCHOLARSHIP.+ By ERNEST PROTHEROE. With seven
illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 2s. 6d.

_The School Guardian_ says: 'A very readable tale with plenty of
"go" in it.'

_The Manchester Courier_ says: 'An attractive story of schoolboy
life.'

_The Spectator_ says: 'Here we have a story of adventure, the scene
of action being what is called the educational ladder. Bob Marchant
wins a scholarship ... which takes him to Orville College, a
first-grade school.... The subject is worth treating, and should
not be less interesting than the perils by flood and field which
commonly form the themes of these stories.'

+THE HEROISM OF LANCELOT.+ By JEANIE FERRY. With three coloured
illustrations. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 2s. 6d.

This book will be read with eager interest and profit by all boys
and girls. The author has produced quite a number of beautiful
characters, and some the reverse of beautiful. Lancelot is
undoubtedly the hero, and a splendid one, too, but there are
several heroines who run him close in the race of unselfishness and
purity of character. Boys will vote the book 'jolly' and
'stunning,' and unconsciously they will have themselves imbibed a
wholesome draught from a carefully written and good story.

+JACK SAFFORD: A Tale of the East Coast.+ By WILLIAM WEBSTER. With three
coloured illustrations by ERNEST PRATER. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt,
2s. 6d.
