In the “Boy’s Library of Pluck and Action,” the design was to bring together the representative and most popular books of four of the best known writers for young people.  The names of Mary Mapes Dodge, Frank R. Stockton, Noah Brooks, and Rossiter Johnson are familiar ones in every household, and a set of books, to which each has contributed one, forms a present that will delight the heart of every boy who likes manly, spirited, and amusing tales.  The volumes are beautifully illustrated and uniformly bound in a most attractive form.

The story of Siegfried.

By James Baldwin.

With a series of superb illustrations by Howard Pyle.  One volume, square 12mo. $2.00.

Mr. Baldwin has at last given “The Story of Siegfried” in the way in which it most appeals to the boy-reader,—­simply and strongly told, with all its fire and action, yet without losing any of that strange charm of the myth, and that heroic pathos, which every previous attempt at a version, even for adult readers, has failed to catch.

THE STORY OF ROLAND.

By James Baldwin.

With a series of illustrations by R.B.  Birch.  One volume, square 12mo. $2.00.

This volume is intended as a companion to “The Story of Siegfried.”  As Siegfried was an adaptation of Northern myths and romances to the wants and the understanding of young readers, so is this story a similar adaptation of the middle-age romances relating to Charlemagne and his paladins.  As Siegfried was the greatest of the heroes of the North, so, too, was Roland the most famous among the knights of the Middle Ages.

“We congratulate the boys of the land upon the appearance of this book.  We commend it to parents who are selecting literature for their children, assured, as we are, that it will convince them that books may be found which will engage the attention, and stimulate the imagination, of the young, without dissipating the mind, or blunting the moral sensibilities.”—­Philadelphia Messenger.

* * * * *

The American boy’s Handy book;

Or, what to do and how to do it.

By Daniel C. Beard.

With three hundred illustrations by the author.  One volume, 8vo. $2.00.

Mr. Beard’s book is the first to tell the active, inventive, and practical American boy the things he really wants to know, the thousand things he wants to do, and the ten thousand ways in which he can do them, with the helps and ingenious contrivances which every boy can either procure or make.
