_DOWN THE SNOW STAIRS:_

Or, From Good-night to Good-morning. By ALICE CORKRAN. With 60 character Ill.u.s.trations by GORDON BROWNE. Square crown 8vo, cloth elegant, gilt edges, 6_s._

[Ill.u.s.tration]

This is a remarkable story: full of vivid fancy and quaint originality. In its most fantastic imaginings it carries with it a sense of reality, and derives a singular attraction from that combination of simplicity, originality, and subtle humour which is so much appreciated by lively and thoughtful children. Children of a larger growth will also be deeply interested in Kitty's strange journey: and her wonderful experiences amidst the extraordinary people whom she meets. The work is profusely ill.u.s.trated by an artist whose facile pencil has portrayed alike the graceful and the grotesque, the images of goblin and fairy land and the semblances of child life.

_TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO:_

Or, The Adventures of a Roman Boy. By Professor A. J. CHURCH, Author of "Stories from the Cla.s.sics." With 12 full-page Ill.u.s.trations by ADRIEN MARIE, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._

Prof. Church has in this story sought to revivify that most interesting period, the last days of the Roman Republic. The hero of the story, Lucius Marius, is a young Roman who has a very chequered career, being now a captive in the hands of Spartacus, again an officer on board a vessel detailed for the suppression of the pirates, and anon a captive once more, on a pirate ship. He escapes to Tarsus, is taken prisoner in the war with Mithradates, and detained by the latter in Pontus for a number of years.

While boys will follow with the deepest interest the career of Lucius, they will gain a clear insight into the history and life of the ancient Roman world.

"Adventures well worth the telling. The book is extremely entertaining as well as useful, and there is a wonderful freshness in the Roman scenes and characters."--_The Times._

"Entertaining in the highest degree from beginning to end, and full of adventure which is all the livelier for its close connection with history."--_Spectator._

"We know of no book which will do more to make the Romans of that day live again for the English reader."--_Guardian._
