The BOY'S OWN PAPER.

"The Boy's Own holds its place against compet.i.tors with undiminished vitality. It is very proper, of course, yet not the less surprising in this age of rivalry, to find this entertaining miscellany in its thirteenth year preserving the freshness and exuberance of youth. The stories are as thrilling as any in the past, and the pictures run them hard in vigour."--Sat.u.r.day Review.

"Simply crammed with good things, and has heaps of spirited ill.u.s.trations, many being effectively coloured."--Pall Mall Gazette.

"Deservedly popular on both sides of the ocean."--New York Herald.

[Ill.u.s.tration: BOYS OWN PAPER]

"As for the tales, they tell of travel, sport, and adventure all over the world. Games of all kinds are discussed with the careful attention they deserve. There are, of course, good articles on natural history and the domestic animals; science and the severer pursuits are by no means neglected, and the notes under 'Doings of the Month' are full of useful information on every possible subject."--Times.

"A very feast of good things."--Christian.

"An abundant store of amus.e.m.e.nt and instruction."--Spectator.

"A wonderful sixpennyworth."--Queen.

"We strongly advise all our readers to introduce, in its monthly form, this splendid collection of pure literature to their school libraries and book clubs."--Teachers' Aid.
