en Full-page and Eight other Illustrations in the Text. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. A lively story, abounding in stirring incident and in humorous descriptions.

Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. The story of a big ungainly youth who seemed fated to be misunderstood and to be made the butt of his comrades.

By TALBOT BAINES REED. +ROGER INGLETON, MINOR.+ With Seven Full-page Illustrations by J. FINNEMORE, R.I. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. _The Guardian_ says:--"Mr. Talbot Baines Reed knows how to tell a story, and he does himself justice in 'Roger Ingleton, Minor,' in which he makes an excellent book out of the return of a long-lost half-brother who had gone out alone into the world, many years previously, after a bitter quarrel with his father. The discovery of the missing brother is not accomplished without many exciting incidents, out of which Mr. Reed weaves his plot." _The Aberdeen Free Press_ says:--"This story has a modern atmosphere. The plot is very skilfully constructed and the interest is maintained up to the last page." +SIR LUDAR: A Story of the Days of the Great Queen Bess.+ With Eleven Full-page Illustrations. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. _The Guardian_ says:--"This stirring tale, which is played in the days of Queen Elizabeth, and tells of the wonderful adventures of a sturdy prentice-lad who contrived to crowd into a few years as much danger and fighting and hairbreadth escapes as would have lasted an army of ordinary folk for their whole lives. It is a capital book for boys which those who begin reading will have to finish. Mr. Pearse's illustrations, too, are very good." _The Aberdeen Free Press_ says:--"This is a stirring tale of adventure with plenty of fighting." +PARKHURST BOYS, and other Stories of School Life.+ With Seven Full-page and many other Illustrations. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s
