Opinions of the Fbess. 



"If the stamina of a nation lie in its youth, the quality of that 

 youth must depend upon the training of its boys. Air. Friswell's 

 opening scene is one that will win applause from the Rector of 

 Eversley, and delight the heart of the author of • Tom Brown's 

 School Days.'" — Critic. 



" The faithful History of Edward Paget, who, losing his 

 parents when young, had to fight his own way in the world. Ned 

 goes to London, from thence to the Arctic Seas and the Esqui- 

 maux ; from the Arctic Regions he goes to America ; from there 

 to the Prairies, then to the Feejee islands, and from thence to 

 Persia." — Leader. 



" A capital book for boys, abounding in adventure and interest, 

 smacking strongly of the style of Captain Marryat." — Court 

 Journal. 



" We can honestly recommend this cheerful and wcll-toned 

 volume, there is good descriptive power revealed in every page." 

 — Sunday Timen. 



CHiriciSMsop "Out aitd knovt"— continued. 



'' ' Out and About ' is, as its title declares, written for boys. 

 It is very well written. When the boy goes to sea and sees the 

 world, he sees a little of everything pleasantly enough." — Examiner. 



" The most charming of these books is ' Out and About,' by 

 Hain Friswell, illustrated by George Cruikshank. "—JbAre Bull. 



" The scenes in Iceland, in America, in the Islands of the South 

 Sea, and in Persia, display great power of observation." — Daily 



" The author has amply succeeded in his object, ' Out and 

 About' is essentially a ' boy's book,' interesting and amusing, but 

 withal replete with sound precepts of practical conduct and manly 

 English feeling. It is just the book which a judicious father would 

 do well to place in the hands of his son." — Morning Chronicle.
