THE BALL OF FORTUNE;
Or Ned Somerset's Inheritance. By Charles Pearce. With 4 full-page Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2s. 6d.
A story of plot and character dealing with some out of the many scenes of London life, and founded on the strange bequest left by a sea captain, and the endeavours of some unscrupulous persons to obtain possession of it before the discovery of the true heir in the person of a neglected street Arab. The story is lively and attractive, and the incidents move so quickly that the attention of the reader is sustained throughout.
"A capital story for boys. It is very simply and brightly written. There is plenty of incident, and the interest is sustained throughout."—Journal of Education.
"It is a bright genial story, which boys will thoroughly enjoy.... We have seen few better stories for boys this season."—Birmingham Daily Post.
"The most exciting of them all."—The Times.
