FOR THE YOUNG.
The Boys of '76.
A History of the Battles of the Revolution. By Charles Carleton Coffin. Profusely Illustrated. 8vo, Cloth, $3.00.
It is full of interest from beginning to end, and there are thousands of old boys, and girls too—from one to four score in years—who will read it with all the zest of youngsters. Mr. Coffin is an admirable story-teller for old and young, and understands how to draw a lively picture of the scenes he describes. His book presents a vivid personal and battle history of our Revolution, and it is profusely and strikingly illustrated with portraits and scenes on almost every page.—Lutheran Observer, Philadelphia.
