COMSTOCK. Large 12mo Profusely illustrated with full-page drawings and chapter headings by GEORGE VARIAN $1.00 It will at once be understood that the "boy" of the story is Alfred the Great in his youth, but it cannot be understood how delightful a story this is until it is seen and read. The splendid pictures of George Varian make this book superior among juveniles. "Not a boy lives who will not enjoy this book thoroughly. There is a good deal of first-class historical information woven into the story, but the best part of it is the splendid impression of times and manners it gives in old England a thousand years ago."--_Louisville
