BLACKIE’S
SCHOOL AND HOME LIBRARY.
Under the above title the publishers have arranged to issue, for School Libraries and the Home Circle, a selection of the best and most interesting books in the English language. The Library includes lives of heroes, ancient and modern, records of travel and adventure by sea and land, fiction of the highest class, historical romances, books of natural history, and tales of domestic life.
The greatest care has been devoted to the get-up of the Library. The volumes are clearly printed on good paper, and the binding made specially durable, to withstand the wear and tear to which well-circulated books are necessarily subjected.

“The Library is one of the most intelligent enterprises in connection with juvenile literature of recent years.... A glance at the list proves that the editing is in the hands of some one who understands the likings of healthy boys and girls.... One of the healthiest juvenile libraries in existence.”—Bookman.
