again. "Since the days when we read _Robinson Crusoe_, no book of its kind has delighted us more. It is just the gift for boys. 'Old Boys' will read it with pleasure."--_Schoolmaster._ "This story will place the author at once in the front rank. It is full of life and adventure, and the interest is sustained without a break from first to last."--_Standard._ BY SARAH TYTLER. * * * * * _GIRL NEIGHBOURS:_ Or, The Old Fashion and the New.
