THE PRINCESS IDLEWAYS.

A FAIRY STORY.

Written in a simple but charming manner, and ill.u.s.trated by beautiful pictures, so that a youngster just past the first reading-book would appreciate every word.--_Christian Intelligencer_, N. Y.

The ill.u.s.trations are worthy of special commendation. Any so airy, pretty, and full of grace, have rarely appeared in any American book for children.--_Hartford Courant._

The language in which it is told is so pure and agreeable, that parents and good bachelor uncles will find it a pleasure to read it aloud to the little ones.--_Boston Courier._

By LUCIEN BIART, Author of "Adventures of a Young Naturalist."

ILl.u.s.tRATED.

l2mo, Cloth, $1.25.

A very charming book, br.i.m.m.i.n.g full of adventures, and has not an uninteresting page between its covers.--_Baltimore Gazette._

A book that is at once novel and entertaining. * * * All the book is lively, and the voyagers have some adventures, the telling of which is as entertaining as any book of Jules Verne's, besides having nothing in them that is improbable or extravagant.--_Philadelphia Bulletin._

A most enchanting story for boys. * * * It is a story of adventure, and also contains much interesting and useful information.--_Pittsburgh Telegraph._

A narrative crowded with adventure, told in the lively and graphic style for which the French writers of books for boys are so noted.--_Cleveland Herald._

One of the most attractive books of the season. * * * Spirited sketches of travel and adventure on the ocean wave, among the islands and on southern coasts, fill these chapters. But the main point which gives them their highest flavor is the experience of naval warfare during our late civil conflict.--_Observer_, N. Y.
