_The Standard._ "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 these hundred illustrations, and you will go no further afield in search of a present for him."--_Truth._ BY GEORGE MANVILLE FENN. "Mr. Fenn is in the front rank of writers of stories for boys."--_Liverpool Mercury._ * * * * * =Quicksilver:= Or a Boy with no Skid to his Wheel. By George Manville Fenn. With 10 full-page Illustrations by Frank Dadd. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s._ "_Quicksilver_ is little short of an inspiration. In it that prince of story-writers for boys--George Manville Fenn--has surpassed himself. It is an ideal book for a boy's library."--_Practical Teacher._ "The story is capitally told, it abounds in graphic and well-described scenes, and it has an excellent and manly tone throughout."--_The Guardian._ "This is one of Mr. Fenn's happiest efforts, and deserves to be read and re-read by every school-boy in the land.

It is rich in effective local colouring; and it has a historical interest."--_Times._ "We have not of late come across a historical fiction, whether intended for boys or for men, which deserves to be so heartily and unreservedly praised as regards plot, incidents, and spirit as _Dick o' the Fens_. It is its author's masterpiece as yet."--_Spectator._ =Devon Boys:= A Tale of the North Shore. By G. Manville Fenn. With 12 full-page Illustrations by Gordon Browne. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s._ "An admirable story, as remarkable for the individuality of its young heroes as for the excellent descriptions of coast scenery and life in North Devon. It is one of the best books we have seen this season."--_Athenaeum._ "We do not know that Mr. Fenn has ever reached a higher level than he has in _
