Makers of England Series
By EVA MARCH TAPPAN, Ph.D.
Dr. Tappan's historical works have already become classics for the
young, and well do they deserve it, with their entertaining
descriptions, perfect English, and historical value. Such books are
the best that can be placed in the hands of children; and the fact
that while being instructive there is never a dull line is the highest
commendation that can be offered.

Miss Tappan reads her authorities intelligently and selects
her material wisely, always having her young audience well
in mind. She has a clear idea of the requirements for
interesting and stimulating young readers, and arousing in
them a desire for further research. The entire series are
admirably adapted to this end, and are warmly recommended to
the attention of parents, teachers, and
librarians.--"_Era_", _Philadelphia, Pa._
A Boy of a Thousand Years Ago
By HARRIET T. 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
