MOMENTS ON THE MOUNT. A Series of Devotional

Meditations. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.

+CHARLIE TO THE RESCUE+.

A TALE or THE SEA AND THE ROCKIES.

"In 'Charlie to the Rescue' Mr. Ballantyne supplies his constituency --which is now a large and well-satisfied one--with a sufficiency of battles, sieges, and escapes; the troubles of ranchmen, whose lives are threatened both by white and by black scoundrels, are admirably reproduced. It is a capital story."--_Spectator_.

THE FUGITIVES;

Or, THE TYRANT QUEEN OF MADAGASCAR.

RED ROONEY;

Or, THE LAST OF THE CREW.

THE ROVER OF THE ANDES.

A TALE OF ADVENTURE IN SOUTH AMERICA.

"We commend it to boys fond of adventure and of natural phenomena; a very fascinating book."--_British Quarterly Review._

THE YOUNG TRAWLER.

A STORY OF LIFE AND DEATH AND RESCUE IN THE NORTH SEA.

"Few men have laboured so steadfastly in their generation to provide sound wholesome fare for 'our boys' as Mr. Ballantyne, and the 'Young Trawler' is worthy of his reputation.

A TALE OF PEACE AND WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

"A capital story of South African life. Mr. Ballantyne, through the medium of a thoroughly manly and healthy tale of sport and war, frolic and danger, full of stirring yet not exaggerated scenes, presents a sketch of a very important period of the early history of our colony at the Cape of Good Hope."--_Times_.

_With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 5s. each_.

+UNDER THE WAVES+;

Or, DIVING IN DEEP WATERS.

"Mr. Ballantyne enlarges the already gigantic debt due to him by the young, by his 'Under the Waves,' a story meant to illustrate the practice and peril of diving in deep water, which it does in not only an interesting, but often in amusing manner."--_Times_.

+RIVERS OF ICE+.

"Boys will find the book about as delightful a story of adventure as any of them could possibly desire."--_Scotsman_.

+THE NORSEMEN IN THE WEST+;

Or, AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS.

"This thoroughly delightful book is an adaptation of the Saga of Iceland, and also of Mr. Laing's 'Heimskingla; or Chronicles of the Kings of Norway,' supplemented by Mr. Ballantyne's own experience and adventures in the wilderness of America. These ingredients are put together with the skill and spirit of an accomplished story-teller; and the result is a book that cannot possibly be laid down till the very last word of the last line has been read."--_Athenæum_.

+THE IRON HORSE+;

Or, LIFE ON THE LINE. A RAILWAY TALE.

"A captivating book for boys."--_Guardian_.

+ERLING THE BOLD+.

A TALE OF THE NORSE SEA KINGS.

"A capital tale of the Norse Sea Kings."--_Times_.

"The story is interesting and full of moving incidents by flood and field, and it will therefore scarcely fail to be popular among lads."--_Scotsman_.

"The story is clearly designed, and abounds with elements of romantic interest; and the Author's illustrations are scarcely less vigorous than his text."--_Athenæum_.

+FIGHTING THE FLAMES+.

A TALE OF THE LONDON FIRE BRIGADE.

"Many a schoolboy will find keen enjoyment in the perusal of 'Fighting the Flames,' and assure his little sisters with suitable emphasis that Mr. Ballantyne is 'a stunning good story-teller.'"--_Athenæum_.

+DEEP DOWN+.
