The books that charmed us in youth recall the delight ever
afterwards; we are hardly persuaded there are any like them, any
deserving equally our affections. Fortunate if the best fall in
our way during this susceptible and forming period of our lives.

ALDEN, W.L.
The Moral Pirates.
Harper. .60
Four boys cruise in a large rowboat up the Hudson River and on some of
the Adirondack Lakes, camping out, and having many funny and exciting
experiences.
BLACK, WILLIAM.
The Four MacNicols, and An Adventure in Thule.
Harper. .60
This volume is given because of the first of these two stories, which
is not published separately. It tells of the fishing experiences of
four Scotch brothers, and shows how much plucky lads can accomplish.
In An Adventure in Thule two boys discover a young Frenchwoman (p. 134)
stranded on an island, and succeed in rescuing her.
CHURCH, A.J.
Three Greek Children.
Putnam. 1.25
An abundance of information about Greek life and customs is woven
interestingly into the fabric of this tale. The battles of Marathon
and Salamis are fought anew for the children by old men who were
participants therein, and the Isthmian games are also described.
