"A Tale of Zululand.' A very appropriate region to take a boy in at this time. have nothing to do, however, with the late war, though there is plenty of fighting before Hendricks' tale is told. The illustrations are quite in the spirit of the book. No one who looks at the frontispiece but must turn to page 201 to learn the issue of the startling scene depicted."-Times.

"A delightful book of travel and adventure in Zululand. The reader is introduced to Cetewayo as a young man, before he had attained his rank and pre-eminence as 'a noble savage. The book is very interesting, and comes appropriately at the present moment.' -Athenæum.

"A most entertaining and readable little book, in which Temperance principles are temperately treated from the biographical point of view. Mr. Sherlock has given a most effective reply to the common insinuation that it is only weak-minded people who are teetotalers. We are quite certain that Mr. Sherlock's twenty representative biographies will do great service."-Daily Telegraph.

EPHRAIM AND HELAH:

A Story of the Exodus.

By EDWIN HODDER.

"Mr. Hodder gives a vivid description of the daily life of the Hebrews immediately at and before the time of the coming of Moses. The picture is full of interest."-Queen.

"There is a great deal of picturesque detail and accurate acquaintance with the natural features of the story, and the supernatural features are treated with a candour and breadth which are as welcome as they are rare in a book of the kind.”—Academy.

THE JUNIOR CLERK.

A Tale of City Life.

By the same Author.

"Mr. Shipton observes that the author described this tale to him as a fiction. He remarks: 'It may be so to him, but for every one of its statements I could supply a fact. It is not merely true to nature as a narration of the means by which young men may be --it is as true a record of the ways in which many have been, and many still are being, led to dishonour and ruin.' Such a recommendation as this will be sufficient to ensure for this little book a hearty welcome from many readers."— Christian World.
