_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

"This is one of Mr. Fenn's happiest efforts, and deserves to be

Manville Fenn. With 12 full-page Illustrations by Frank
Dadd. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s._

"We have not of late come across a historical fiction, whether

unreservedly praised as regards plot, incidents, and spirit as

With 12 full-page Illustrations by Gordon Browne. Crown 8vo,

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
