PLOITS AND VOYAGES. "This belongs to the 'Young Folks' Heroes of History' series, and deals with a greater and more interesting man than any of its predecessors. With all the black spots on his fame, there are few more brilliant and striking figures in English history than the soldier, sailor, courtier, author, and explorer, Sir Walter Ralegh. Even at this distance of time, more than two hundred and fifty years after his head fell on the scaffold, we cannot read his story without emotion. It is graphically written, and is pleasant reading, not only for young folks, but for old folks with young hearts."--_Woman's Journal._ DRAKE: THE SEA-LION OF DEVON. Drake was the foremost sea-captain of his age, the first English admiral to send a ship completely round the world, the hero of the magnificent victory which the English won over the Invincible Armada. His career was stirring, bold, and adventurous, from early youth to old age. LEE AND SHEPARD, Publishers, Boston. BOOKS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN =HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW= His Life, His Works, His Friendships. By GEORGE LOWELL AUSTIN. Profusely illustrated. Cloth, $2.00. New edition. Formerly published by subscription. "We have here a clear and popular presentation of the poet's literary life. The details of his personal and private life, or at least so much of it as belongs by right strictly to his family, has been avoided, and that properly. What the public have a right to know is found in this volume, in a style that is easy and pleasing. Here you have Longfellow as a child, as a college student, and as a professor in Bowdoin College; and especially does he appear here as a man of letters. It is a charming volume."--_Christian Standard._ =LIFE AND TIMES OF WENDELL PHILLIPS= By GEORGE LOWELL AUSTIN. With steel portrait and illustrations. Cloth, $1.50. New edition. The only complete Life of the great agitator. "The life of a man who was so strongly identified with one of the most stirring periods in American history must necessarily be one of much interest, and Mr. Austin has succeeded in presenting its features in a very attractive way. Portions of Mr. Phillips's most important public addresses are given, and there are reminiscences of the man by some of his close friends and associates."--_Philadelphia Record._ Wendell Phillips's L
