BAREFOOTED BIRDIE

A Simple Tale for Christmas.

By T'OT. New Edition, Revised.

"Bruce watching the spider on the ceiling: Christian at the wicket gate; . . . Good Temper at the Well; or 'Barefooted Birdie' at her brother's grave, are true for ever to all healthy and happy children, and give lessons of beauty and wisdom, of grace and courage, to teach to generations yet unborn."-Quarterly Review.

"We cannot recommend a better present than 'Barefooted Birdie,' a simple tale for Christmas."-John Bull. "We can give this tale our very highest praise."-Church

Review.

!

"The whole story is like a gleam of bright sunshine and summer weather just stealing in upon the cold fogs and winds of Christmas, and telling of brighter days to come."-Standard.

"Full of true, hearty, Christian feeling, thoroughly sound and healthy in tone, and altogether a book which we can most cordially recommend."-Church and State Review.

"Barefooted Birdie' will be read by many, and must please all who are worth pleasing and care to be pleased. We have had nothing so good since Andersen's Little Match Girl,' of whom Birdie' reminds us."-Herald.

THE OLD SHEKARRY."

The FOREST and the FIELD.

Portrait and Illustrations, price 21s.

By H. A. L., “The Old Shekarry," Author of "The Hunting-Grounds of the Old World,' "The Camp Fire," &c. I vol. demy 8vo, with "Will be read with pleasure by all persons who delight in narratives of manly adventure."Atheneum,

"We sincerely trust that he may live long, write many more books, kill many more tigers, and no, not marry many more wives. He has a very pretty notion of enjoying himself; and his autobiography is one of the most amusing we have read for a long time."-Pall Mall Gazette.

"The hero of a hundred adventurous exploits among the wild beasts and wild men of different regions in Asia and Africa, wherever the dauntless activity of English sportsmen and travellers delights most to wander, comes before us again in this attractive book."- Illustrated London News.

"The tamest person in the world must feel an exhilarat ing emotion creep over him as he peruses page after page of scenes of daring, and descriptions of deeds of valour, which few others than The Old Shekarry' would care to undertake. It is another triumph.”—Bell's Life.

"We have thoroughly enjoyed our ramble through "The Forest and the Field," and cordially recommend a similar expedition to all those who seek entertainment and varied information. -Field.

"Narrated in a pleasant, lively style."-Observer. "Should be in the library of every one who delights in 'disastrous chances, of moving accidents by flood and field."" Sporting Review.

Dedicated, by permission, to the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Oxford. The UNIVERSITIES' MISSION to EAST CENTRAL AFRICA. From its Commencement to its Withdrawal from the Zambesi. By the Rev. HENRY ROWLEY, One of the Two Survivors of Bishop Mackenzie's Clerical Staff. I vol. Second and Cheaper Edition, post 8vo, with Portraits, Maps, and Illustrations, price 9s. cloth.

"The missionaries seemed to have hurled themselves as thoughtlessly against the heathenism of Africa as the Light Brigade went in against the Russian artillery at Balaclava." -Saturday Review.

"All our readers who have taken any interest--and which 1 of them has not?-in the Central African Mission, or in the noble life and heroic death of Bishop Mackenzie, should make a point of reading this book. It will probably modify in many respects the opinions they have formed about the grand

but calamitous enterprise from the imperfect and fragmen
tary information which is all that has been hitherto in their
hands. Mr. Rowley is an excellent writer, simple and
direct; he tells us exactly what we want to know, in lan-
guage which nobody can mistake; while his descriptions of
natives and scenery show that he is a man of acute and
accurate observation, with a strong feeling for the pic-
turesque, and an unusual power of communicating his
impressions."-Guardian.
