The Boy's Library of Adventure and Heroism. (3) |
MELTONIANS ALL! By F. COWLEY WHITEHOUSE. With three coloured illustrations by J. Finnemore, R.I. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. A capital boy's book, giving a stirring account of life in a great public school. All three heroes of the tale are very attractive to the reader, while the touch of tragedy describing the noble self-sacrifice of one of them further deepens the interest of this lively story. The Daily Mail says: 'A thoroughly healthy school story, which touches neither too lightly nor too heavily upon the responsibilities of boyhood.' The Globe says: 'A splendid schoolboy's story, in which pluck, honesty and steadfastness are winners every time.' The English Churchman says: 'A very well written story-book for boys, dealing with school life in a lively style.' MYDDLETON'S TREASURE. By ERNEST PROTHEROE, Author of 'That Boy of Fraser's,' 'Bob Marchant's Scholarship,' &c. With three coloured illustrations by J. Macfarlane. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. Entering the railway service, Jasper Myddleton worked his way up to the footplate only for the past to rise up against him and cause his dismissal. But his grit and dogged pertinacity carried him safely through various adventures at sea and in Central Africa. He discovered the 'Real King Solomon's Mines,' but in 'Kiddy,' a little girl-friend, he found the greatest treasure of all. The plot is particularly attractive, and the reader will follow Myddleton's vigorous, moving career with sustained interest. THE BAYMOUTH SCOUTS. By TOM BEVAN, Author of 'The Goldsmith of Chepe,' 'A Trooper of the Finns,' &c. With four coloured illustrations by Gordon Browne. Large crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. This is a story of the days of Napoleon, and his threatened invasion of England. Two boys are kidnapped and carried to France, from where, after many adventures, they escape and return to England, bringing with them a lady and her daughter, who had been ruined by the Revolution. It is especially suited for Boy Scouts. LONDON: THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.
