from first to last."--_Schoolmaster_.

"A wholesome book, manly in tone, its character sketches enlivened by
brisk dialogue and high-class illustrations; altogether one that should
incite boys to further acquaintance with those rulers of men whose

page Pictures. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3_s._ 6_d._
"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_.
The Bubbling Teapot. A Wonder Story. By Mrs. L. W. CHAMPNEY. With 12
page Pictures by WALTER SATTERLEE. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3_s._ 6_d._
"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_.
BY JENNETT HUMPHREYS.

3_s._ 6_d._
"_Laugh and Learn_ instructs and amuses; it is the very book for a wet
day in the nursery, for besides solid instruction, admirably given, it
contains numberless games and contrivances, with useful and amusing
illustrations. The musical drill is remarkably good."--_Athenaeum_.
