BOOKS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
FEATS ON THE FIORD. A tale of Norwegian life, by Harriet Martineau. With about 60 original illustrations and a colored frontispiece.
1 vol., small quarto, cloth, gilt top $1.50
This admirable book, read and enjoyed by so many young people a generation ago and now partially forgotten, deserves to be brought to the attention of parents in search of wholesome reading for their children to-day. It is something more than a juvenile book, being really one of the most instructive books about Norway and Norwegian life and manners ever written, well deserving liberal illustration, and the luxury of good paper, print and binding now given to it.
AN ARCHER WITH COLUMBUS. By Chas. E. Brimblecom, with about 50 illustrations from original pen-and-ink sketches.
1 vol., 16mo, handsome cloth binding $1.25
A capital story of a boy who attracted the attention of Columbus while he was seeking the aid of Ferdinand and Isabella, for his great voyage of discovery. The wit and courage of the boy enabled him to be of service to the great explorer, and he served as an archer on the vessel of Columbus. His loyalty and devotion, through vicissitude and danger, endeared him to his master, and the story of his experiences and exploits will make him a favorite with boys, young and old.
The story is well told, crisply written, full of reasonable adventure and lively dialogue, without a tedious page from beginning to end.
