=Brother and Sister:= Or the Trials of the Moore Family. By
Elizabeth J. Lysaght. With 6 full-page Illustrations. Crown
8vo, cloth extra, _3s. 6d._
"A pretty story, and well told. The plot is cleverly constructed,
and the moral is excellent."--_Athenæum._
=Laugh and Learn:= A Home-book of Instruction and Amusement for the
Little Ones. By Jennett Humphreys. Charmingly Illustrated.
Square crown 8vo, cloth extra, _3s. 6d._
_Laugh and Learn_, a most comprehensive book for the nursery,
supplies, what has long been wanted, a means whereby the mother or
the governess may, in a series of pleasing lessons, commence and
carry on systematic home instruction of the little ones. The
various chapters of the _Learn_ section carry the child through the
"three R's" to easy stories for reading, and stories which the
mother may read aloud, or which more advanced children may read to
themselves. The Laugh section comprises simple drawing lessons,
home amusements of every kind, innumerable pleasant games and
occupations, rhymes to be learnt, songs for the very little ones,
action songs, and music drill.
=The Search for the Talisman:= A Story of Labrador. By Henry
Frith. With 6 full-page Illustrations by J. Schönberg.
Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, _3s. 6d._
"Mr. Frith's volume will be among those most read and highest
valued. The adventures among seals, whales, and icebergs in
Labrador will delight many a young reader, and at the same time
give him an opportunity to widen his knowledge of the Esquimaux,
the heroes of many tales."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
=Self-Exiled:= A Story of the High Seas and East Africa. By J.A.
Steuart. With 6 full-page Illustrations by J. Schönberg.
Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, _3s. 6d._
"It is cram full of thrilling situations. The number of miraculous
escapes from death in all its shapes which the hero experiences in
the course of a few months must be sufficient to satisfy the most
voracious appetite."--_Schoolmaster._
=Reefer and Rifleman:= A Tale of the Two Services. By J.
Percy-Groves, late 27th Inniskillings. With 6 full-page
Illustrations by John Schönberg. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, _3s.
6d._
"A good, old-fashioned, amphibious story of our fighting with the
Frenchmen in the beginning of our century, with a fair sprinkling
of fun and frolic."--_Times._
=The Bubbling Teapot.= A Wonder Story. By Mrs. L.W. Champney.
With 12 full-page Pictures by Walter Satterlee. Crown 8vo,
cloth extra, _3s. 6d._
"Very literally a 'wonder story,' and a wild and fanciful one.
Nevertheless it is made realistic enough, and there is a good deal
of information to be gained from it. The steam from the magic
teapot bubbles up into a girl, and the little girl, when the fancy
takes her, can cry herself back into a teapot. Transformed and
enchanted she makes the tour of the globe."--_The Times._
=Dr. Jolliffe's Boys:= A Tale of Weston School. By Lewis Hough.
With 6 full-page Pictures. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, _3s. 6d._
"Young people who appreciate _Tom Brown's School-days_ will find
this story a worthy companion to that fascinating book. There is
the same manliness of tone, truthfulness of outline, avoidance of
exaggeration and caricature, and healthy morality as characterized
the masterpiece of Mr. Hughes."--_Newcastle Journal._
