TALES OF CAPTIVITY AND EXILE.
"It would be difficult to place in the hands of young people a book which combines interest and instruction in a higher degree."—Manchester Courier.
FAMOUS DISCOVERIES BY SEA AND LAND.
"Such a volume may providentially stir up some youths by the divine fire kindled by these 'great of old' to lay open other lands, and show their vast resources."—Perthshire Advertiser.
STIRRING EVENTS OF HISTORY.
"The volume will fairly hold its place among those which make the smaller ways of history pleasant and attractive. It is a gift-book in which the interest will not be exhausted with one reading."—Guardian.
ADVENTURES IN FIELD, FLOOD, AND FOREST. Stories of Danger and Daring.
"One of the series of books for young people which Messrs. Scribner excel in producing. The editor has beyond all question succeeded admirably. The present book cannot fail to be read with interest and advantage."—Academy.
THE STORIES OF WASA AND MENZIKOFF: The Deliverer of Sweden and the Favourite of Czar Peter.
"Both are stories worth telling more than once, and it is a happy thought to have put them side by side. Plutarch himself has no more suggestive comparison."—Spectator.
