SCRIBNER'S BOOKS FOR THE YOUNG WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN by ERNEST SETON THOMPSON. THE PERSONAL HISTORIES OF SILVERSPOT THE CROW THE SPRINGFIELD FOX IN PIRATE WATERS By KIRK MUNROE. 11lustrated by I. W. Taber. 12mo, $1.25. "The story is a stirring tale of a young middy on the Enterprise, who is captured by the Tripolitans and held for several years as a servant of the Pasha, and finally escapes to take part in the bombardment and downfall of Tripoli. The blowing up of the frigate Philadelphia by Lieut. Decatur and his gallant little band is graphically described. . . . As in all of Mr. Munroe's books, there is not a prosaic line in it."-Brooklyn Eagle. It would be hard to find the characteristics of animals portrayed more vividly or more sympathetically. Mr. Thompson's unconventional pictures strikingly reinforce the text, and increase the attractiveness of a very originally made and handsomely printed volume. THE STORY OF A YANKEE BOY By HERBERT E. HAMBLEN. Illustrated, 12mo, $1.50. Of this new story by the author of "On Many Seas" the San Francisco Bulletin says: "Will's adventures, after being shanghaied, the wreck off the coast of Terra del Fuego, the rescue by whalers and the arrival at San Francisco, are exciting enough to hold any boy's interest; and the triumphant return to Oakville after two years of thrilling adventure is a most satisfactory termination to this delightful story." THE AMERICAN GIRL'S HANDY BOOK By LINA and ADELIA B. BEARD. Illustrated, square 8vo, $2.00. In its new, enlarged form, this book is a veritable treasure-house of amusement and information for girls.

CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, 153-157 Fifth Ave., New York "Not many writers for boys have a wider popularity than G. A. Henty. The secret of his success lies in his knowledge of boy nature; he knows that the average youngster has a consuming desire for stories in which something happens. He has been called the boy's Sir Walter Scott, and the title is not I applied."-Brooklyn Eagle. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS : 153-157 Fifth Avenue, New York The Second Congress and The Spread of Revolution Fight for the Hudson Fabius How the West was Saved Greene's Campaign in the The Test of Endurance Yorktown How Peace was Made With numerous illustrations by Howard Pyle, F. C. Yohn, 2 volumes, 8vo, $6.00 How capable the old, familiar story was of being re-vitalized, and of having its interest heightened by a treatment embodying the latest results of historical research,-this no one could have foreseen. One of the best things that can be said for Mr. Lodge's book is that he "It is bound to take its place among the foremost of American historical treatises, because of its patriotism. as well as its adherence to the truth of the original story. Its portrayal of the struggle of the Revolutionists for their liberty and their rights is thrilling and life-like."-Boston Courier. 66 Writing of this sort needs good illustration, and Senator Lodge is to be congratulated on just about the most brilliant pictorial accompaniment with which any such scheme as his has been blessed of late years." -New York Tribune. BOOKS BY RICHARD HARDING DAVIS THE CUBAN AND PORTO RICAN CAMPAIGNS Mr. Davis's vivid articles in Scribner's Magazine form the basis of a continuous history of the war which he has been elaborating from the very beginning. The book will have many illustrations from photographs and from drawings by eye-witnesses. Besides being the graphic record of a skilful war correspondent, it will also possess the value of a thoughtful summary of the conflict. 25th Thousand THE KING'S JACKAL Illustrated by C. D. Gibson. 12mo, $1.25 "If we were asked to suggest a story which should keep one for a couple of hours or more in a glow of pleasurable anticipation, by its demands on our sentiment, we could hardly do better than to name 'The King's Jackal."" -Philadelphia Bulletin. "Mr. Davis has vigorous ideals- he is in love with strength and cleanness, with 'grit' and resource, with heroism and courage, in men; with beauty and frankness, with freshness and youth, in women; and, liking these qualities, he also likes writing about them. Hence, to those who are of Mr. Davis's mind (as I am for one), Mr. Davis's books are always welcome; because, although he is not subtle, although he lacks the genius of bis master in the craft, Mr. Kipling, Mr. Davis is a good fellow and a very delightful writer, and be has the art of making his stories 'bum,' as bis countrymen say."-The Academy. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, Publishers 153-157 Fifth Avenue, New York There is every indication that this will be in many respects a notable book. In the attempt to portray life in Virginia, in a way distinctively Mr. Page's own, it is thoroughly in earnest; and, though broader in scope, it has much of the same quality which made "Marse Chan" famous. "Mr. Page is the brightest star in our Southern literature. He belongs to the old Virginia 'quality'; he knows the life of the people, he knows the negro and renders his dialect perfectly, he has an eye for the picturesque, the poetic, and the humorous, and his style shows exquisite artistic taste and skill."-Nashville American.
