Mr. Lanier's books, in which he presents to boy readers the old English classics of history and legend in such attractive form, are now issued in four uniform volumes, well made and well illustrated. While they are stories of action and stirring incident, which make them extremely exciting, they teach those lessons which manly, honest boys ought to learn. The oath of the young fourteenth century knight made him vow to speak the truth, to perform a promise to the utmost, to reverence all women to maintain right and honesty, to help the weak, to treat high and low with courtesy, to be fair to a bitter foe, and to pursue simplicity, modesty and gentleness of heart and bearing; and the nineteenth century knight is he who takes the same oath of fidelity to truth, honesty and purity of heart. The illustrations are full of fire and spirit, and add very much to one's enjoyment of the book.
