"This is a book after the typical boy's own heart. Its hero is a
plucky young fellow, who, seeing no chance for himself at home,
determines to make his own way in the world.... He sets out
accordingly, trudges to the far West, and finds the road to fortune
an unpleasantly rough one."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._

"We class this as one of the best stories for boys we ever read.
The tone is perfectly healthy, and the interest is kept up to the
end."--_Boston Home Journal._

=Bound in Honor.= By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.

This story is of a lad, who, though not guilty of any bad action,
had been an eye-witness of the conduct of his comrades, and felt
"Bound in Honor" not to tell.

"The glimpses we get of New England character are free from any
distortion, and their humorous phases are always entertaining. Mr.
TROWBRIDGE'S brilliant descriptive faculty is shown to great
advantage in the opening chapter of the book by a vivid picture of
a village fire, and is manifested elsewhere with equally telling
effect."--_Boston Courier._

=The Pocket Rifle.= By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.

"A boy's story which will be read with avidity, as it ought to
be, it is so brightly and frankly written, and with such evident
knowledge of the temperaments and habits, the friendships and
enmities of schoolboys."--_New York Mail._

"This is a capital story for boys. TROWBRIDGE never tells a story
poorly. It teaches honesty, integrity, and friendship, and how
best they can be promoted. It shows the danger of hasty judgment
and circumstantial evidence; that right-doing pays, and dishonesty
never."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._

=The Jolly Rover.= By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.

"This book will help to neutralize the ill effects of any poison
which children may have swallowed in the way of sham-adventurous
stories and wildly fictitious tales. 'The Jolly Rover' runs away
from home, and meets life as it is, till he is glad enough to seek
again his father's house. Mr. TROWBRIDGE has the power of making
an instructive story absorbing in its interest, and of covering a
moral so that it is easy to take."--_Christian Intelligencer._

=Young Joe=, AND OTHER BOYS. By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.
