utifully illustrated."--_Boston Transcript_.

"The book in its new dress makes a much finer appearance than before,
and will be welcomed by older readers as gladly as its predecessor was
greeted by girls and boys. The lavish use the publishers have made of
colored plates, woodcuts, and photographic reproductions, gives an
unwonted piquancy to the printed page, catching the eye as surely as the
text engages the mind."--_New York Critic_.

"The author writes history as a story. It can never be less than that.

"Each cheque is good for several laughs."--_New York Herald_.

"Nothing could be more sprightly and amusingly whimsical."--_Boston

"A charming book."--_Cincinnati Enquirer_.

_ADOPTING AN ABANDONED FARM_. By KATE SANBORN.

"A sunny, pungent, humorous sketch."--_Chicago Times_.

"A laughable picture of the grievous experiences of a young woman who
sought to demonstrate the idea that a woman can farm.... The drakes

not go down."--_Minneapolis Tribune_.

"The book is dainty in exterior as well as rich within; and to those who
seek health, moral and physical, we say, 'Buy it.'"--_Montreal Gazette_.
