WITH PERRY
ON LAKE ERIE

A TALE OF 1812

By James Otis

307 pp. Cloth, $1.50

Characters and incidents largely historical. A lively rendering of a memorable event.—The Outlook.

Graphically does Mr. Otis tell the story of the naval battle won by Commodore Perry. The well-known tale, rehearsed in a new manner, though with strict adherence to history, is given in the first person by a boy, who, with the Commodore's young brother, was concerned in all the important events of that battle, as well as in previously warding off the capture of Presque Isle. It is one of the best of Revolutionary tales, in manner, facts, and interest, published within the last year or two, and the covers are attractive.—The Literary World.

An account of the brave but often fruitless struggles and attempts of young Commodore Perry to get into fighting trim the famous Lake Erie fleet, handicapped as he was by lack of men and material. The author has in no wise departed from the strict truth, as given by the best historians, and it is this fact which renders his entertaining story particularly valuable as a book for the young.—Dial.

AND THE TRIPOLITAN WAR

By JAMES OTIS

349 pages. Cloth. 12mo. $1.50

Second Volume in "The Great Admiral Series"

It is a typical, dashing, instructive, and thrilling story. It is intended for boys, but there is hardly a person, young or old, who would not be intensely interested in it. Such a book as this should be welcomed by every parent.—Boston Journal.

This volume gives us a most vivid description of the exploits of the old "Constitution" and the brave men under Commander Preble's command. It is of the best juvenile literature.—The Indianapolis Journal.

It is a thrilling account of the loss of the "Philadelphia," and of the most famous "cutting out" party in our naval history. It adds a second volume to one of our most interesting series of books for young people.—The Dial.

The ever-stimulating account of "Old Ironsides" and her famous campaign against the Tripolitan pirates forms the basis of one of Mr. Otis's best stories; correct in its historical facts, interesting from beginning to end, it will be welcomed not only by the younger reader, but by the older one as well.—The Presbyterian.

BOOKS BY WILLIAM DRYSDALE

THE YOUNG REPORTER

A STORY OF PRINTING HOUSE SQUARE

300 pp. Cloth. $1.50

If ever a writer knew how to tell a rattling story that almost lifts you off your feet on the first page, it is William Drysdale. His style is vivacious and racy, and the events hurry along like the current of a stream above a cascade. The story in itself is intensely interesting, but, aside from its interest, it gives an insight into the life of a great daily paper of the city that it would be hard to find elsewhere. Thus the book is instructive as well as captivating.—Lutheran Evangelist.

"The Young Reporter" is a rattling book for boys. It is written by Mr. William Drysdale, a retired journalist, who has held responsible desks upon the Sun, the Recorder and other papers, and who knows just what he is talking about.—New York Recorder.

A genuine boys' book for genuine boys. It is full of life, clean, clear cut, and inspiring. We can commend this book to any lover of boys' stories. It is illustrated with spirit, the pictures adding greatly to the attractiveness of the book.—Journal of Education.

This is a story of real power, full of life and action, and will enlist the interest of every stirring and wide-awake boy.—Herald & Presbyter.

A Story of the Chile-Peruvian War.

BY

CLAUDE H. WETMORE.

335 pages. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

CONTAINING PRONOUNCING VOCABULARY
AND MAP OF CALLAO BAY

This is one of the best stories for boys that has been issued, and with great pleasure we heartily recommend it.—Observer.

This story is full of thrilling interest and dramatic power. The many picturesque descriptions give a real portrayal of the country and its people.—Book News.

This volume is so real that one imagines he is in the centre of action. This doubtless is due to the author's thorough acquaintance with the customs and conditions of these countries.—St. Louis Star.

Just now when there are so many reminders of the differences existing between the South American States, and while the influence of the Pan-American Congress in Mexico is being so strongly felt, this book is very timely. It is a very vivid picture of the war between Chile and Peru in 1879, and a portrayal of the customs and manners of these states that is extremely interesting, and that throws much light on present problems.—Christian Endeavor World.

The bitter war of conquest waged by Chile against Peru has never been given any popular presentation until now. The author is a traveler who has covered all of South America and was a resident of Peru when the war broke out. His picture of that period is absorbingly interesting, and the promised sequel of this volume will be awaited with great eagerness.—The Interior.

CONTAINING PRONOUNCING VOCABULARY.

"The author is thoroughly acquainted with the history and records of the far-famed land of the Incas, and the story is full of interest historically as well as a work of excellent romance and fiction."—Chronicle-Telegraph.

"Mr. Wetmore has shown in 'Incaland' how that the Chile-Peruvian War was to the latter people a blessing in disguise, and how that, casting aside her antiquated systems, Peru introduced many improvements, until she has to-day attained a most enviable position among the South American republics. All this information the author has clothed in the attractive guise of a story, full of interesting and stirring accounts in which boys will find great delight."—New York Examiner.

"'Incaland' deals with the history and wonderful progress of Peru subsequent to the War, and it overflows with historical interest, and, as it is in a most picturesque setting, it will surely find a hearty welcome."—Christian Endeavor World.

"This volume is not only steeped in the Indian lore of the past, but it embraces as well some of the stirring instances of the Chile-Peruvian War, and any boy who has read this stirring narrative has unconsciously acquired not only familiarity with a certain period in history, but with the manners and aspect of this historic country. It is a ringing boys' story, full of interest and enthusiasm."—Free Press, Milwaukee.

CADET STANDISH
OF THE ST. LOUIS

A STORY OF OUR NAVAL
CAMPAIGN IN CUBAN WATERS.

352 pages. Cloth. $1.50.

In "Cadet Standish of the St. Louis" Mr. William Drysdale tells the story of an American boy to whom the Spanish war brought some novel and exciting experiences. The lad took part in the cable cutting off Guantanamo, the first exploit in which the great "merchant cruiser" distinguished herself. Not only is Mr. Drysdale an accomplished writer, but he has an intimate knowledge of the West Indian regions where most of the scenes are laid. The result is a most graphic and entertaining volume.—Boston Journal.

This is a story of the recent naval combat in Cuban waters. The book is picturesque and interesting from cover to cover. The local color is presented in a series of vivid touches and is skillfully interwoven with the narrative interest. The story is that of a young cadet on board the St. Louis, who is detailed for dangerous shore duty. His adventures make up the story that at once attracts and informs the reader.—The Baptist Union.

It is pleasant to be able to say that this tale of Cadet Standish is interesting, wholesome, natural, even among exciting scenes. The hero is a fine fellow in every way: in his relations to his widowed mother, as a young business man, and with his associates in the navy.—The Literary World.
