students in spite of themselves."--_St. James' Gazette._

St. George for England: A Tale of Cressy and Poitiers. By G. A.
HENTY. With full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 12mo, cloth,
price $1.00.

No portion of English history is more crowded with great events than
that of the reign of Edward III. Cressy and Poitiers; the destruction
of the Spanish fleet; the plague of the Black Death; the Jacquerie
rising; these are treated by the author in "St. George for England."
The hero of the story, although of good family, begins life as a
London apprentice, but after countless adventures and perils becomes
by valor and good conduct the squire, and at last the trusted friend
of the Black Prince.

"Mr. Henty has developed for himself a type of historical novel
for boys which bids fair to supplement, on their behalf, the
historical labors of Sir Walter Scott in the land of
fiction."--_The Standard._

Captain Kidd's Gold: The True Story of an Adventurous Sailor Boy.
By JAMES FRANKLIN FITTS. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

There is something fascinating to the average youth in the very idea
of buried treasure. A vision arises before his eyes of swarthy
Portuguese and Spanish rascals, with black beards and gleaming
eyes--sinister-looking fellows who once on a time haunted the Spanish
Main, sneaking out from some hidden creek in their long, low
schooner, of picaroonish rake and sheer, to attack an unsuspecting
trading craft. There were many famous sea rovers in their day, but
none more celebrated than Capt. Kidd. Perhaps the most fascinating
tale of all is Mr. Fitts' true story of an adventurous American boy,
who receives from his dying father an ancient bit of vellum, which
the latter obtained in a curious way. The document bears obscure
directions purporting to locate a certain island in the Bahama group,
and a considerable treasure buried there by two of Kidd's crew. The
hero of this book, Paul Jones Garry, is an ambitious, persevering
lad, of salt-water New England ancestry, and his efforts to reach the
island and secure the money form one of the most absorbing tales for
our youth that has come from the press.
