It is a capital story, with a manly and
healthful tone, and will go straight to a boy's heart.
"As a thoroughly wholesome and delightful book for boys, 'The
Fairport Nine' is not likely to have its superior this season. It is
published, moreover, in an attractive form, with a taking cover and
frontispiece."--_N. Y. Evening Mail._

THE BOY EMIGRANTS.
By NOAH BROOKS.
One volume, 12mo, cloth. New edition. With Illustrations by
Thomas Moran, W. L. Sheppard, and others $1.50
"_The Boy Emigrants_" is a story of the adventures of a party of young
gold seekers on the Overland Emigrant Route, and in California, during
the early rush to the mines. Since the author was himself an emigrant of
this description, the scenes and incidents are drawn from life, and the
book may be accepted as a fresh and vivid picture of life on the Plains
and in the mines from an entirely novel point of view.
"It is one of the best boy's stories we have ever read. There is
nothing morbid or unhealthy about it. The author sets before his
readers no impossible goodness or unattainable perfection.
