Author of “A Middy of Nelson’s Day,” etc. With twenty-five full-page illustrations by Paul Hardy.
1 vol., tall 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 400 pages $1.50
A book of adventure, the scene of which is laid in that stirring period of colonial extension when England’s famous naval heroes encountered the ships of Spain, both at home and in the West Indies. Mr. St. John has given his boy readers a rattling good story of the sea. There is plenty of adventure, sufficient in fact to keep a boy fixed near the fireside until the last page is reached.

Author of “Ballads and Songs of Spain,” etc.
1 vol., small 12mo, with frontispiece, cloth, gilt top $0.75
Although the recent war with Spain has aroused general interest and caused a great demand for literature relating to the subject, there has not as yet been published a condensed history of Spain for young people. Mr. Williams’s little book will prove a desirable addition to the children’s historical library.
