"A pleasantly written little volume, giving much interesting information concerning villages and village life."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

_W. CLARK RUSSELL._
MASTER ROCKAFELLAR'S VOYAGE. By W. CLARK RUSSELL, Author of 'The Wreck of the Grosvenor,' &c. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
"Mr. Clark Russell's story of 'Master Rockafellar's Voyage' will be among the favourites of the Christmas books. There is a rattle and 'go' all through it, and its illustrations are charming in themselves, and very much above the average in the way in which they are produced. Mr. Clark Russell is thoroughly at home on sea and with boys, and he manages to relate and combine the marvellous in so plausible a manner that we are quite prepared to allow that Master Rockafellar's is no unfair example of every midshipman's first voyage. We can heartily recommend this pretty book to the notice of the parents and friends of sea-loving boys."--_Guardian._
"In the frank and convincing narrative of Master Rockafellar there happens to be set a short story which should make the fortune of the book. 'La Mulette' is as fine a piece of story-telling as ever Mr. Russell has given us, and we heartily commend it to any boy who has the sense to distinguish between the author who has a story to tell, and the author who has to tell a story."--_Speaker._
_G. MANVILLE FENN._
SYD BELTON: Or, The Boy who would not go to Sea. By G. MANVILLE FENN, Author of 'In the King's Name,' &c. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
"Who among the young story-reading public will not rejoice at the sight of the old combination, so often proved admirable--a story by Manville Fenn, illustrated by Gordon Browne! The story, too, is one of the good old sort, full of life and vigour, breeziness and fun. It begins well and goes on better, and from the time Syd joins his ship exciting incidents follow each other in such rapid and brilliant succession that nothing short of absolute compulsion would induce the reader to lay it down."--_Journal of Education._
"The pick of the adventure-books for this season. There is not a dull page in it. 'Syd Belton' is a capital book."--_Speaker._
"From beginning to end the book is a vivid and even striking picture of sea-life."--_Spectator._
_MRS. PARR._
DUMPS. By MRS. PARR, Author of 'Adam and Eve,' 'Dorothy Fox,' &c. Illustrated by W. PARKINSON. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
"One of the prettiest stories which even this clever writer has given the world for a long time."--_World._

_L. T. MEADE._
