"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._

_GIRL NEIGHBOURS:_
Or, The Old Fashion and the New. By SARAH TYTLER.
With 8 full-page Illustrations by C. T. GARLAND.
Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1.50.
A story specially adapted for girls, told in that quaint delightful
fashion which has made Miss Tytler's former books so popular and
attractive. The characters of the Girl Neighbours Sapientia (Pie)
Stubbs, and Harriet (Harry) Cotton, who may be said respectively to
illustrate the old and the new fashioned method of education, are
admirably delineated; and the introduction of the two young ladies from
London, who represent the modern institutions of professional nursing
and schools of cookery, is very happily effected. The story possesses
abundant humour and piquant descriptions of character.
"One of the most effective and quietly humorous of
Miss Tytler's stories. _Girl Neighbours_ is a
healthy comedy, not so much of errors as of
prejudices got rid of, very healthy, very
agreeable, and very well written."--_Spectator._
"Girls will find it very interesting. The
illustrations are very good; the frontispiece,
especially, possesses a delicacy of execution not
often met with in books of this class."--_School
Guardian._

other writers about the red men and the wild hunters of the forests and
prairies are still among the most popular of boys' books. "The Wigwam
and the War-path" consists o
