which was to be erected at Jerusalem. During his absence of several years, he met with innumerable strange and perilous adventures by land and sea. In itself the narrative of his exploits is of thrilling interest, but the real value of the book consists in the graphic and accurate picture which it gives of the world as it was a thousand years before the Christian Era. King David, King Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, and even Homer are among the characters Captain Mago meets in his journeys and adventures. * * * * * =A TALE OF THE INDIAN MUTINY;= _OR, THE SERPENT-CHARMER._ BY LOUIS ROUSSELET. _New Edition, Fully Illustrated. One Volume, 12mo, $1.50_ A book of exciting adventures, the scene being laid in India during the Mutiny of 1857, and the story describing the fortunes of a Franco-Indian family. "The book, the plot of which appears to be founded on fact, is rather a boy's book than a novel, and is filled with an uninterrupted series of wild adventures, told in an agreeable and interesting way." --_The Nation._ "Besides the interest in the romance, much information is conveyed concerning Indian manners and customs, as well as delightful descriptions of the wild country and the animals that abound there." --_Providence Journal._ * * * * * =WILD MEN AND WILD BEASTS;= _OR, SCENES IN CAMP AND JUNGLE._ BY LIEUT.-COL. GORDON CUMMING. _New Edition, Illustrated. One Volume, 12mo, $1.50_ [Illustration] The author of this book is famous for his hunting exploits in Africa and in Asia. His narrative has an autobiographical basis and contains some of the most marvelous stories of adventure ever published. Col. Gordon's accounts of his various expeditions are records of bravery and endurance seldom paralleled; and the tales of bloodshed are alleviated by pleasant anecdote--the humors of the camp and chase. * * * * * THE BOY'S LIBRARY OF PLUCK AND ACTION. =Four volumes, 12mo, in a box, illustrated, $5.00 Sold separately, price per volume, 1.50= [Illustration] A JOLLY FELLOWSHIP.
