WOODVILLE STORIES.

_16mo. Handsomely Ill.u.s.trated. In sets or separate._

RICH AND HUMBLE; or, the Mission of Bertha Grant. $1.25.

"No author is more welcomed by the young, and no books can be more safely placed in their hands. His writings, as in this volume of 'Rich and Humble,' inspire the reader with a lofty purpose. They show the wrong courses of life only to present, by contrast, the true and right path, and make it the way which youth will wish to walk in, because of its being the most pleasant and inviting."--_Ma.s.s. Teacher._

IN SCHOOL AND OUT; or, The Conquest of Richard and Grant. $1.25.

"Oliver Optic is as well known and as highly appreciated among the young people of our land as Charles d.i.c.kens is among the older folks. 'In School and Out' is equal to anything he has written. It is a story that will deeply interest boys particularly, and make them better."--_Notices of the Press._

WATCH AND WAIT; or, The Young Fugitives. $1.25.

The author has used, to the best advantage, the many exciting incidents that naturally attend the career of a fugitive slave, and the seeds that he may sow in youthful hearts will perhaps bear a hundred-fold.

WORK AND WIN; or, Noddy Newman on a Cruise. $1.25.

"A nautical story of adventure and endurance, written to delineate the upward progress of a boy whose moral attributes were of the lowest order, in consequence of neglected education, but in whom high religious principles were afterwards developed."--_Notices of the Press._

HOPE AND HAVE; or, f.a.n.n.y Grant among the Indians. $1.25.

"This is a story of Western adventure and of peril among the Indians, and contains the experience of f.a.n.n.y Grant, who, from a very naughty girl, became a very good one, by the influence of a pure and beautiful example exhibited by an erring child, in the hour of her greatest wandering from the path of virtue."--_Philadelphia Age._

HASTE AND WASTE; or, The Young Pilot of Lake Champlain. $1.25.

"This is a story of boyish daring and integrity upon Lake Champlain, and older heads than those of sixteen may read and profit by it."

The stories in the "Woodville" series are hinged together only so far as the same characters have been retained in each.

THE STARRY FLAG; or, the Young Fisherman of Cape Ann. $1.25.

"The early history of Levi Fairfield, the boy hero of this volume, as it is graphically traced by Oliver Optic, will be apt to hold boy-readers spell-bound.

BREAKING AWAY; or, the Fortunes of a Student. $1.25.

"In this volume Oliver Optic opens the school-room door, and shows the nature, construction, and workings of the school system; its lights and shadows; its discipline, and the serious consequences that come from want of discipline."--_Patriot._
