Boy’s Workshop (A).

By A BOY AND HIS FRIENDS.  With an introduction by Henry Randall Waite.  A fascinating little volume full of practical ideas for the benefit of boys who are getting their first training in the use of tools.  Its directions are explicit and trustworthy from the buying of the first hammer to the construction of a cabinet.  Its chapters are not wholly confined to carpentry, but give detail instruction in other matters dear to the boyish heart, such as the making of bows and arrows, preserving “collections,” and making anglers’ flies, etc., etc.  It will prove an admirable help in the direction of industrial training. $1.00.

Dean Stanley with the Children.

By MRS. FRANCES A. HUMPHREY.  Very fully illustrated.  This choice volume contains Dean Stanley’s famous Christmas Sermons to children, a beautiful account of the Dean’s own life as a boy at home, and at Rugby, his relations with other boys, and also much entertaining matter relating to the celebrated English schools at Rugby and Westminster, and to the Abbey itself.  It is illustrated with portraits, views of various Abbey interiors, sketches of Westminster and Rugby boys, and other fine engravings, historical and modern.  It also gives as an introduction to the five charming sermons a fine chapter by Canon Farrar, regarding the Dean in the pulpit, as both writer and orator, with a touching account of the delivery of his last sermon, 12mo, $1.00.

Double Masquerade (A).

By REV.  CHAS. R. TALBOT.  Illustrated by Share, Merrill, and Taylor.  A stirring romance of the American Revolution, with illustrations made from careful studies of old Boston.  The portion describing the battle of Bunker Hill, as seen by the boys, has been said to be one of the most graphic and telling accounts ever written of that famous conflict. Extra cloth, 12mo, $1.25.

Hedge Fence (A).

By PANSY.  Here is a story of the haps and mishaps of the typical boy whose purposes are good, but whose impetuosity plunges him into all kinds of mischief, as the boy himself expresses it, “before he knows it.”  One of the boys of this book, ruefully reflecting on the results of a boyish scrape, wishes for something like a hedge fence to keep him from running into trouble.  In a manner which will be delightfully entertaining and helpful to all boys (and girls for that matter), Pansy tells us how the hero of her story found a hedge which stood between him and mischief.  The book will benefit and please every boy who reads it, or to whom it is read. 16mo, 60 cents.
