STORIES OF THE SEA IN FORMER DAYS: Narratives of Wreck and Rescue.

"Next to an original sea-tale of sustained
interest come well-sketched collections of
maritime peril and suffering which awaken the
sympathies by the realism of fact. _Stories of the
Sea_ are a very good specimen of the kind."--_The
Times._

TALES OF CAPTIVITY AND EXILE.

"It would be difficult to place in the hands of
young people a book which combines interest and
instruction in a higher degree."--_Manchester
Courier._

FAMOUS DISCOVERIES BY SEA AND LAND.

"Such a volume may providentially stir up some
youths by the divine fire kindled by these 'great
of old' to lay open other lands, and show their
vast resources."--_Perthshire Advertiser._

STIRRING EVENTS OF HISTORY.

"The volume will fairly hold its place among those
which make the smaller ways of history pleasant
and attractive. It is a gift-book in which the
interest will not be exhausted with one
reading."--_Guardian._

ADVENTURES IN FIELD, FLOOD, AND FOREST. Stories of Danger and Daring.

"One of the series of books for young people which
Messrs. Scribner excel in producing. The editor
has beyond all question succeeded admirably. The
present book cannot fail to be read with interest
and advantage."--_Academy._

THE STORIES OF WASA AND MENZIKOFF: The Deliverer of Sweden and the
Favourite of Czar Peter.

"Both are stories worth telling more than once,
and it is a happy thought to have put them side by
side. Plutarch himself has no more suggestive
comparison."--_Spectator._
