Mrs. Burnett's Famous Juveniles
A writer in the Boston Post has said of Mrs. Burnett: She has a beauty of imagination and a spiritual insight into the meditations of childhood which are within the grasp of no other writer for children, —and these five volumes would indeed be difficult to match in child literature. The new edition is from new plates, with all the original illustrations by Reginald B. Birch, is bound in a handsome new cover. Little Lord Fauntleroy, Two Little Pilgrims' Progress, Piccino and Other Child Stories, Giovanni and the Other, Sara Crewe, and Little Saint Elizabeth and other Stories (in one volume).

Three New Volumes by G. A. Henty
It would be a bitter year for the boys if Mr. Henty were to fail them with a fresh assortment of his enthralling tales of adventure, for, as the London Academy has said, in this kind of story telling, he stands in the very first rank. With Frederick the Great is a tale of the Seven Years' War, and has twelve full-page illustrations by Wal. Paget; A March on London details some stirring scenes of the times when Wat Tyler's motley crew took possession of that city, and the illustrations are drawn by W. A. Margetson, while Wal. Paget has supplied the pictures for With Moore at Corunna, in which the boy hero serves through the Peninsular War. (Each 12mo, $1.50.)
With 8 full-page Illustrations by Reginald B. Birch. 12mo $1.50.
Will Shakespeare's Little Lad by Imogen Clarke
The author has caught the true spirit of Shakespeare's time, and paints his home surroundings with a loving, tender grace, says the Boston Herald .
An Old-Field School Girl by Marion Harland
(Illustrated, 12mo, $1.25.) As pretty a story for girls as has been published in a long time, says the Buffalo Express , and the Chicago Tribune is even more appreciative: Compared with the average books of its class 'An Old-Field School Girl,' becomes a classic.
