his time he has undertaken to show how very near
an innocent boy can come to the guilty edge and yet be
able by fortunate circumstances to rid himself of all
suspicion of evil. There is something winsome about
the hero; but he has a singular way of falling into
bad luck, although the careful reader will never feel
the least disposed to doubt his honesty."--_Syracuse
Standard._

=The Little Master.=

This is the story of a schoolmaster, his trials,
disappointments, and final victory. It will recall to
many a man his experience in teaching pupils, and in
managing their opinionated and self-willed parents.
The story has the charm which is always found in Mr.
Trowbridge's works.

"Many a teacher could profit by reading of this plucky
little schoolmaster."--_Journal of Education._

=His One Fault.=

"As for the hero of this story 'His One Fault' was
absent-mindedness. He forgot to lock his uncle's
stable door, and the horse was stolen. In seeking to
recover the stolen horse, he unintentionally stole
another. In trying to restore the wrong horse to his
rightful owner, he was himself arrested. After no end
of comic and dolorous adventures, he surmounted all
his misfortunes by downright pluck and genuine good
feeling. It is a noble contribution to juvenile
literature."--_Woman's Journal._

=Peter Budstone.=

"Mr. J. T. Trowbridge's 'Peter Budstone' is another of
those altogether good and wholesome books for boys of
which it is hardly possible to speak too highly. This
author shows us convincingly how juvenile reading may
be made vivacious and interesting, and yet teach sound
and clean lessons. 'Peter Budstone' shows forcibly the
folly and crime of 'hazing.' It is the story of a
noble young fellow whose reason is irreparably
overthrown by the savage treatment he received from
some of his associates at college. It is a powerful
little book, and we wish every schoolboy and college
youth could read it."--_Philadelphia American._
