UART. "Esme Stuart may be commended for producing a girl true to real life, who will put no nonsense into young heads."--_Graphic_. Gytha's Message: A Tale of Saxon England. By EMMA LESLIE. "This is a charmingly told story. It is the sort of book that all girls and some boys like, and can only get good from."--_Journal of Education_. Jack o' Lanthorn: A Tale of Adventure. By HENRY FRITH. "The narrative is crushed full of stirring incident, and is sure to be a prime favourite with our boys, who will be assisted by it in mastering a sufficiently exciting chapter in the history of England."--_Christian Leader_. The Family Failing. By DARLEY DALE. "At once an amusing and an interesting story, and a capital lesson on the value of contentedness to young and old alike."--_Aberdeen Journal_. My Mistress the Queen: A Tale of the 17th Century. By M. A. PAULL. "The style is pure and graceful, the presentation of manners and character has been well studied, and the story is full of interest."--_Scotsman_. The Stories of Wasa and Menzikoff: The Deliverer of Sweden, and the Favourite of Czar Peter. "Both are stories worth telling more than once, and it is a happy thought to have put them side by side."--_Spectator_. Stories of the Sea in Former Days. "Next to an original sea-tale of sustained interest come well-sketched collections of maritime peril and suffering which awaken the sympathies by the realism of fact. _Stories of the Sea_ are a very good specimen of the kind."--_The Times_. Tales of Captivity and Exile. "It would be difficult to place in the hands of young people a book which combines interest and instruction in a higher degree."--_Manchester Courier_. Famous Discoveries by Sea and Land. "Such a volume may providentially stir up some youths by the divine fire kindled by these 'great of old' to lay open other lands."--_Perth Advertiser_. Stirring Events of History. "The volume will fairly hold its place among those which make the smaller ways of history pleasant and attractive."--_Guardian_. Adventures in Field, Flood, and Forest. "The editor has beyond all question succeeded admirably. The present book cannot fail to be read with interest and advantage."--_Academy_. BLACKIE'S TWO-SHILLING SERIES. Illustrated by eminent Artists. In crown 8vo, cloth elegant. _NEW VOLUMES._ Queen ff the Daffodils: A Story of High School Life. By LESLIE L
