‘A really excellent book.’—Spectator.
HER TITLE OF HONOUR: a Book for Girls. By Holme Lee. New Edition. Crown 8vo. With a Frontispiece.
‘It is unnecessary to recommend tales of Holme Lee’s, for they are well known, and all more or less liked. But this book far exceeds even our favourites, not perhaps as a story, for this is of the simplest kind, but because with the interest of a pathetic story is united the value of a definite and high purpose; and because, also, it is a careful and beautiful piece of writing, and is full of studies of refined and charming character.’—Spectator.
‘It contains a vast amount of admirable and happy teaching, as valuable as it is rare.’—Standard.
AT SCHOOL WITH AN OLD DRAGOON. By Stephen J. MacKenna. Crown 8vo. With Six Illustrations.
‘Consisting almost entirely of startling stories of military adventure.... Boys will find them sufficiently exciting reading.’—Times.
‘These yarns give some very spirited and interesting descriptions of soldiering in various parts of the world.’—Spectator.
‘Mr. MacKenna’s former work, “Plucky Fellows,” is already a general favourite, and those who read the stories of the Old Dragoon will find that he has still plenty of materials at hand for pleasant tales, and has lost none of his power in telling them well.’—Standard.
WAKING AND WORKING; OR, FROM GIRLHOOD TO WOMANHOOD. By Mrs. G. S. Reaney. With a Frontispiece. Crown 8vo.
‘A good tale—good in composition, good in style, good in purpose.’—Nonconformist.
