Ned Woodthorpe's Adventures. By F. Frankfort Moore. With 8 full-page Illustrations by A. Forestier. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _5s._ "Mr. Moore has never shown himself so thoroughly qualified to write books for boys as he has done in _Under Hatches_."--_The Academy._ "A first-rate sea story, full of stirring incidents, and, from a literary point of view, far better written than the majority of books for boys."--_Pall Mall Gazette._ "The story as a story is one that will just suit boys all the world over.

With 8 full-page Illustrations by A. Forestier. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _5s._ "Jules Verne himself never constructed a more marvellous tale.
