ot to a great extent turns; and the hero himself, who finds in his experiences at Wynport College a wholesome corrective of a somewhat lax home training. "A book which no well-regulated school-boy should be without."--_Whitehall Review_. LEON GOLSCHMANN Boy Crusoes: A Story of the Siberian Forest. Adapted from the Russian by LEON GOLSCHMANN. With 6 page Illustrations by J. FINNEMORE, R.I. 3_s._ 6_d._ Two Russian lads are so deeply impressed by reading _Robinson Crusoe_ that they run away from home.
