The Satin-wood Box. By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. 

 $1.25. 



" Mr. TROWBRIDGE has always a purpose in his writings, and this time he 

 has undertaken to show how very near an innocent boy can come to the guilty 

 edge and yet be able by fortunate circumstances to rid himself of all suspicion 

 of evil. There is something winsome about the hero; but he has a singular 

 way of falling into bad luck, although the careful reader will never feel the 

 least disposed to doubt his honesty. ... It is the pain and perplexity which 

 impart to the story its intense interest." Syracuse Standard. 



The Little Master. By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25. 



This is the story of a schoolmaster, his trials, disappointments, and final 

 victory. It will recall to many a man his experience in teaching pupils, and 

 in managing their opinionated and self-willed parents. The story has the 

 charm which is always found in Mr. TROWBRIDGE'S works. 



" Many a teacher could profit by reading of this plucky little schoolmaster." 

 Journal of Education. 



His One Fault. By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25. 



"As for the hero of this story, ' His One Fault' was absent-mindedness, lie 

 forgot to lock his uncle's stable door, and the horse was stolen. In seeking to 

 recover the stolen horse, he unintentionally stole another. In trying to restore 

 the wrong horse to his rightful owner, he was himself arrested. After no end 

 of comic and dolorous adventures, he surmounted all his misfortunes by down- 

 right pluck and genuine good feeling. It is a noble contribution to juvenile 

 literature." Woman's Journal. 



Peter Budstone. By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25. 



" TROWBRIDGE'S other books have been admirable and deservedly popular, 

 but this one, in our opinion, is the best yet. It is a story at once spirited and 

 touching, with a certain dramatic and artistic quality that appeals to the literary 

 sense as \vell as to the story-loving appetite. In it Mr. TROWBRIDGE has not 

 lectured or moralized or remonstrated; he has simply shown boys what they 

 are doing when they contemplate hazing. By a good artistic impulse we are 

 not shown the hazing at all; when the story begins, the hazing is already over, 

 and we are introduced immediately to the results. It is an artistic touch also 

 that the boy injured is not hurt because he is a fellow of delicate nerves, but be- 

 cause of his very strength, and the power with which he resisted until overcome 

 by numbers, and subjected to treatment which left him insane. His insanity 

 takes the form of harmless delusion, and the absurdity of his ways and talk 

 enables the author to lighten the sombreness without weakening the moral, in 

 a way that ought to win all boys to his side." The Critic.
