e of honest adventure with the
mastering of difficulties in a wholesome manly way, mingled with
sufficient excitement to satisfy the most exacting reader. The discovery
of the British silver mine and its working up and defence take up a
large portion of the story.

"We do not know that Mr. Fenn has ever reached a
higher level than he has in _Devon Boys_. It must
be put in the very front rank of Christmas
books."--_Spectator._

"An admirable story, as remarkable for the
individuality of its young heroes--the cynical Bob
Chowne being especially good--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._

"There is a freshness, a buoyancy, a heartiness
about Mr. Fenn's writings."--_Standard._

_THE GOLDEN MAGNET:_

A Tale of the Land of the Incas. By G. MANVILLE
FENN. With 12 full-page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE.
Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1.50.

The tale is of a romantic lad, who leaves home, where his father
conducts a failing business, to seek his fortune in South America by
endeavouring to discover some of that treasure which legends declare was
ages ago hidden by the Peruvian rulers and the priests of that
mysterious country, to preserve it from the Spanish invaders. The hero
of the story is accompanied by a faithful companion, who, in the
capacity both of comrade and henchman, does true service, and shows the
dogged courage of the British lad during the strange adventures which
befall them. The plot of the story is simple, but the movement is rapid
and full of strange excitement.

"This is, we think, the best boys' book Mr. Fenn
has produced. . . . The illustrations are perfect
in their way."--_Globe._

"There could be no more welcome present for a boy.
There is not a dull page in the book, and many
will be read with breathless interest. '_The
Golden Magnet_' is, of course, the same one that
attracted Raleigh and the heroes of _Westward
Ho!_"--_Journal of Education._
