FLOOD, Charles Scribner’s Sons’ ? These books are for sale by all booksellers, or will be sent, prepaid, upon receipt of price, by the publishers. The American Boy’s Handy-Book; or, What to Do and How to Do It. By Daniel C. Beard. With more than 300 illustrations by the author. 1 vol., 8vo, $3. “This most splendid and complete book for boys is offered to meet a longing felt by many for a real, practical American boy’s book of out-door sports and amusements. Those contained within are intended for all ages past babyhood, and will not be found too trivial to engage the attention of grown-up people who are fond of such sports. The aim has been to give information about things that are practicable for those who have not a great deal of money at command.... Each particular department is minutely illustrated, and the whole is a complete treasury, invaluable not only to the boys themselves, but to parents and guardians who have at heart their happiness, and healthful development of mind and muscle.”—Pittsburgh Telegraph. THE GREAT ENGLISH BALLADS. Mr. Lanier’s books, which made him the companion and friend of half the boys of the country, and showed his remarkable talent for guiding them into the best parts of this ideal world, fitly close by giving the best of the ballads in their purest and strongest form, from Bishop Percy’s choicest collection. With the Boy’s Froissart, the Boy’s King Arthur, the Mabinogion, and the Boy’s Percy, Mr. Lanier’s readers have the full circle of heroes. SIDNEY LANIER’S EDITIONS OF THE OLD LEGENDS.

Would there were more of its type and excellence. It has our most hearty approval and recommendation in every way, not only for beauty of illustration, which is of the highest order, but for the fascinating manner in which the old Norse legend is told.”—The Churchman. “It gives in a popular form, in a charmingly simple and picturesque style, the fascinating romances of the old German epics. No more delightful reading for the young can be imagined than that provided in this interesting book, and the manner of recital is so graceful that older readers will derive from it scarcely less pleasure.”—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. The Ting-a-Ling Tales. By Frank R. Stockton. Illustrated by E. B. Bensell. 1 vol., 12mo, $1. They are tales of, literally, enchanting sorcery and fairy-prank, fantastic, grim, preposterous, fanciful, astonishing, quaint, by turns, and always brimful of humor,—a peculiarly sly and irresistible humor of which Mr. Stockton alone has the secret. All English-speaking children will thank Mr. Stockton for the delightful entertainment he has provided for them. There is certainly no other living writer who so deftly blends the purely imaginative and the subtly humorous. FRANK R. STOCKTON’S POPULAR STORIES. A Jolly Fellowship.
