A GIRL'S STORY. AN ADVENTURE AT THE ANTIPODES. "Mr. Hope is one of the best of living writers of boys' books, and we do not think we over-estimate the merits of the book before us if we say it is one of his best. The idea is a happy one. The result is altogether as successful as the idea is happy. This ought to be one of the most popular boys' books of the season.”—Birmingham Daily Post. "Good, wholesome, stirring reading for boys of all ages. The scenes of these adventures are laid in every quarter of the globe, and they include every variety of peril."— World. "Mr. Ascott Hope has hit upon a really excellent idea in his 'Stories of Young Adventurers,' and carried it out with admirable success. ... It would be difficult to pick out a better book of its kind: young readers will hang over every page with an absorbing interest, and all the time will be imbibing some useful historical information. We should like to think that so thoroughly good a book will be in the hands of a great many boyish readers."-Guardian. "This book contains a great deal of good reading of a kind far superior to that which is ordinarily found in similar books. . . . . It is well got up and will be prized by boys."— Scotsman.

"Stories of all sorts of boys, who in different countries and circumstances, in peace or in war, at school or at work, at home or out in the world, by land or by sea, have gone through experiences worth relating. The work is just such a volume as we would like to see in the hands of our schoolboys, and of those who are emerging into the busy haunts of business and anxiety."-Yorkshire Gazette. "Essentially of an attractive character to the youthful reader, and is, perhaps, as likely to interest the sisters as the brothers."-Bedford Mercury. "Ascott R. Hope has the talent for writing books that will interest boys. The volume is got up with great taste, as all Mr. Hogg's books are, and is well illustrated.

HOPE, Author of "Stories of Young Adventurers," etc. "Mr. Hope throws himself instinctively into his most dramatic incidents from the boys' point of view, and is humorous within the limits of their easy appreciation.

All manner of adventures at school, at home, and at sea, are narrated with equal vivacity and good sense."-Bookseller.

The illustrations, by Gordon Browne, show that the artist is quite d'accord with the author in his conception of the situations depicted."-World.
