THE AMERICAN BOY'S HANDY BOOK;
Or, What to Do and How to Do It.
By DANIEL C. BEARD.
Fully illustrated by the author. One volume, 8vo $3.00
_Mr. Beard's book is the first to tell the active, inventive and
practical American boy the things he really wants to know; the thousand
things he wants to do, and the ten thousand ways in which he can do them,
with the helps and ingenious contrivances which every boy can either
procure or make._ The author divides the book among the sports of the
four seasons; and he has made an almost exhaustive collection of the
cleverest modern devices,--besides himself inventing an immense number
of capital and practical ideas--in
