WAR OF THE REVOLUTION SERIES.
By Everett T. Tomlinson.
THREE COLONIAL BOYS. A Story of the Times of '76. 368 pp. Cloth, $1.50.
It is a story of three boys who were drawn into the events of the times, is patriotic, exciting, clean, and healthful, and instructs without appearing to. The heroes are manly boys, and no objectionable language or character is introduced. The lessons of courage and patriotism especially will be appreciated in this day.--_Boston Transcript._
THREE YOUNG CONTINENTALS. A Story of the American Revolution. 364 pp.Cloth, $1.50.
This story is historically true. It is the best kind of a story either for boys or girls, and is an attractive method of teaching history.--_Journal of Education, Boston._
WASHINGTON'S YOUNG AIDES. A Story of the New Jersey Campaign, 1776-1777.391 pp. Cloth, $1.50.
The book has enough history and description to give value to the story which ought to captivate enterprising boys.--_Quarterly Book Review._
The historical details of the story are taken from old records. These include accounts of the life on the prison ships and prison houses of New York, the raids of the pine robbers, the tempting of the Hessians, the end of Fagan and his band, etc.--_Publisher's Weekly._
Few boys' stories of this class show so close a study of history combined with such genial story-telling power.--_The Outlook._
TWO YOUNG PATRIOTS. A Story of Burgoyne's Invasion. 366 pp. Cloth,$1.50.
The crucial campaign in the American struggle for independence came in the summer of 1777, when Gen. John Burgoyne marched from Canada to cut the rebellious colonies asunder and join another British army which was to proceed up the valley of the Hudson. The American forces were brave, hard fighters, and they worried and harassed the British and finally defeated them. The history of this campaign is one of great interest and is well brought out in the part which the "two young patriots" look in the events which led up to the surrender of General Burgoyne and his army.
The set of four volumes in a box, $6.00.
SUCCESS. By Orison Swett Marden. Author of "Pushing to the Front,""Architects of Fate," etc. 317 pp. Cloth, $1.25.
It is doubtful whether any success books for the young have appeared in modern times which are so thoroughly packed from lid to lid with stimulating, uplifting, and inspiring material as the self-help books written by Orison Swett Marden. There is not a dry paragraph nor a single line of useless moralizing in any of his books.
To stimulate, inspire, and guide is the mission of his latest book, "Success," and helpfulness is its keynote. Its object is to spur the perplexed youth to act the Columbus to his own undiscovered possibilities; to urge him not to wait for great opportunities, but to seize common occasions and make them great, for he cannot tell when fate may take his measure for a higher place.
