brings up at his place of
beginning--the little village of Stonehaven, on the coast of New
England. Rob, in one respect, is like Japhet that Captain Marryatt has
written about--he was off on these travels of his in search of his

cannot fail to command the attention of its readers. The scenes which it
portrays are illustrated by 200 beautiful pictures.--_Pittsburg Times._
