DANA, R.H. (p. 178)
Two Years Before the Mast.
Houghton. 1.00

It does not often happen that a young man of twenty-five writes a
book which becomes a classic in the language.... Yet this is the
history of Dana's Two Years before the Mast.--_Biographical
Sketch._

The author, a boy of nineteen, left Harvard College in 1834 and
shipped as a sailor, hoping by this open-air life to cure a serious
weakness of the eyes. He sailed around Cape Horn, coasted along the
California shore, and returned home by the same route.

EASTMAN, C.A.
Indian Boyhood.
Illustrated by E.L. Blumenschein.
Doubleday. 1.60

Dr. Eastman is himself a Sioux, and this account is the record of his
own youth among this wild people when their warriors went on the
warpath against the "Big Knives," and his highest ambition was to join
them.

FINNEMORE, JOHN.
India.
Illustrated by Mortimer Menpes.
Macmillan. .75

We journey to the court of a native prince, travel through the
bazaars, and visit village, jungle, and even the great Himalayas
themselves. The book is particularly interesting, because India is
less well known to young people than many other lands. Of the twelve
colored pictures, two are specially good,--a tailor at work, and a (p. 179)
Sikh warrior.

FINNEMORE, JOHN.
Japan.
Illustrated by Ella du Cane.
Macmillan. .75

The volume is devoted rather to the habits, manners, and customs, of
this wonderful people than to a description of the country itself. Boy
and girl life, games, feast-days, the occupations of a Japanese day,
the police, and the soldier, are told about in an entertaining manner.
There are eight plates in color.

JENKS, TUDOR.
The Boy's Book of Explorations.
Doubleday. 2.00

A satisfactory introduction to exploration in general, and a
comprehensive account of the travel and discovery of recent times in
Africa, Asia, and Australia. The journeys of Livingstone, Stanley, and
many other well-known African explorers, are related; Rockhill's
adventures in Tibet; the experiences of Hedin and Landor; and the
opening up of Australia. The beauty of Livingstone's character is
dwelt upon.
