'he Fortunes of Toby Trafford. By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. 



Illustrated. $1.25. 



"If to make children's stories as true to nature as the stories which the 

 masters of fiction write for children of a larger growth be an uncommon 

 achievement, and one that is worthy of wide recognition, that recognition 

 should be given to Mr. J. T. TKOWBKIDGK for his many achievements in this 

 difficult walk of literary art. Mr. TKOWHKinrni has a good perception of char- 

 acter, which he draws with skill; he has abundance of invention, which he 

 never abuses; and he has, what so many American writers have not, an easy, 

 graceful style, which can be humorous, or pathetic, or poetic." R. H. Stoddard 

 in New York Mail.

 J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.00. 



In this story the author recounts the hardships of a young lad in his first

 adventures with their daily labors. The hero is a striking example of the 

 honest boy, who is not too lazy to work, nor too dull to thoroughly appreciate 

 a joke.

 left a poor orphan in Ohio at seventeen years of age, and soon after heard of a 

 rich uncle, who lived near Boston. He sets off on the long journey to Boston, 

 finds his uncle, an eccentric old man, is hospitably received by him, but seeks 

 employment in a humble way, and proves that he is a persevering and plucky 

 young man." Boston Home Journal.

 J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.00. 



This book is full of interesting information upon the plant life of the sea- 

 shore, and the life of marine animals; but it is also a bright and readable

 depicting which the author is an acknowledged master. 



The Scarlet Taiiager, AND OTHER BIPEDS. By J. T. 

 TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.00. 



Every new story which Mr. TROWBRIDGE begins is followed through succes- 

 sive chapters by thousands who have read and re-read manv times his preceding- 

 tales. One of his greatest charms is his absolute truthfulness. He does not 

 depict little saints, or incorrigible rascals, but just boy*. This same fidelity to 

 nature is seen in his latest book, "The Scarlet Taiiager, and Other Bipeds." 

 There is enough adventure in this tale to commend it to the liveliest reader, 

 and all the lessons it teaches are wholesome.
