=Highways and High Seas:= Cyril Harley's Adventures on both. By F.
Frankfort Moore. With 8 full-page Illustrations by Alfred
Pearse. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _5s._

The story belongs to a period when highways meant post-chaises,
coaches, and highwaymen, and when high seas meant post-captains,
frigates, privateers, and smugglers; and the hero--a boy who has
some remarkable experiences upon both--tells his story with no less
humour than vividness. He shows incidentally how little real
courage and romance there frequently was about the favourite
law-breakers of fiction, but how they might give rise to the need
of the highest courage in others and lead to romantic adventures of
an exceedingly exciting kind. A certain piquancy is given to the
story by a slight trace of nineteenth century malice in the
picturing of eighteenth century life and manners.
