escapes from death in all its shapes which the hero experiences in
the course of a few months must be sufficient to satisfy the most
voracious appetite."--_Schoolmaster._

Percy-Groves, late 27th Inniskillings. With 6 full-page
Illustrations by John Schoenberg. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, _3s.

"A good, old-fashioned, amphibious story of our fighting with the
Frenchmen in the beginning of our century, with a fair sprinkling
of fun and frolic."--_Times._

=The Bubbling Teapot.= A Wonder Story. By Mrs. L.W. Champney.
With 12 full-page Pictures by Walter Satterlee. Crown 8vo,
cloth extra, _3s. 6d._

"Very literally a 'wonder story,' and a wild and fanciful one.

teapot bubbles up into a girl, and the little girl, when the fancy

With 6 full-page Pictures. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, _3s. 6d._

"Young people who appreciate _Tom Brown's School-days_ will find
this story a worthy companion to that fascinating book. There is
the same manliness of tone, truthfulness of outline, avoidance of
exaggeration and caricature, and healthy morality as characterized
the masterpiece of Mr. Hughes."--_Newcastle Journal._
