By a Boy and his Friends. With an introduction by Henry Randall Waite. Illustrated, 12mo, 1.00.
“Written by ‘a boy and his friends,’ and takes you right into A Boy’s Workshop; tells you how to make and to use a saw-horse and a work-bench; how to use tools and to care for them; lets you into the secret of book-rests, foot-rests, tables, cabinets, catch-alls, etc.; shows you how to build wooden tents, make a fernery, construct a railway and train, bind magazines, take photographs, tie knots, and do a great many other things. It is a book that every boy would like to have, and that he ought to have.”—Advance, Chicago.
“Next to actual service with an intelligent carpenter or cabinet-maker this book is to be valued for its instruction in the art and mystery of tools.”—Christian Advocate, New York.

They will not be disappointed when they open this book and read about Glen Hastings, Kate Oxford, Sharly Raymond and Bessy May—brave girls every one, but in divers ways. Other writers almost as well known as these favorites have helped in no slight degree to swell this tribute to the girls.
