should protect those who are less strong than he is himself; that a man should never be rude to a woman; that truth must never be sacrificed, and that the most cowardly thing that a man can do is to flinch from his duty."--_Philadelphia Times._ ----------------------------------- THE BOY'S FROISSART.

One volume. crown 8vo, extra cloth $2.00 "It is quite the beau ideal of a book for a present to an intelligent boy or girl. * * * Mr. Sidney Lanier, in editing a boy's version of Froissart, has not only opened to them a world of romantic and poetic legend of the chivalric and heroic sort, but he has given them something which ennobles and does not poison the mind."--_Baltimore Gazette._ ----------------------------------- *** In sets. Four volumes put up in a box, uniform binding, $7. ----------------------------------- CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, Publishers, 743 & 745 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. ----------------------------------- WILLIAM O. STODDARD'S CAPITAL STORIES FOR BOYS. The _Boston Globe_ says of Mr. Stoddard's books for boys: "It was a bold attempt, in the face of the great success of sensational literature for the young, to seek to bend boys to self-reliance, duty and honor, by interesting them in the incidents and rewards of manly boy-life at home and at school, and in its games and sports; and a good deal of knowledge of boy character, of sympathy with boy nature, and skill in reaching boy interest, and regard, were required to accomplish his purpose. The plan was a noble one, and its results are a triumph which shows that it is possible, without thrilling adventure on the ocean or in Western wilds, in exciting scenes of peril and death, or unnatural and bad characters and situations, to secure the earnest attention of boys and their approval." ----------------------------------- SALTILLO BOYS.
