' We were among the many who greatly admired Mr. Hope's "Stories 

 of SchooL Life "and "-Stories about Boys," and when we found that 

 he had undertaken to illustrate French school life, we gladly opened 

 the volume. The stories are interesting in the highest degree ; they 

 appeal to the best sympathies of the lads for whom they are written. 

 They set forth the right and the true against the false, and they are 

 full of good, hearty humour.' Public Opinion.
