Nevertheless, the story
is of the Crusoe order, and is concerned with the adventures of the
restless young Californian, Godfrey Morgan, and his companion, the
dancing-master, Tartlet, upon a strange island where they have been
wrecked. The story is one of the most amazing efforts of Verne's genius,
and certainly lacks neither interest nor amusement. The illustrations are
very numerous and equal the text in force and character.

PHAETON ROGERS.
By Rossiter Johnson.
One volume. 12mo. With illustrations $1.50.
"As for 'Phaeton Rogers,' the adventures of that remarkable boy and
his colleagues who investigate the mysteries of the art preservative,
are full of delightful humor, in which the oldest member of the
family can sympathize."--_Minneapolis Journal._
"One of the funniest, liveliest juvenile stories of the year is
'Phaeton Rogers,' by Rossiter Johnson. The writer shows as much
ingenuity in inventing comical adventures and situations as Phaeton
does with his kite-teams, fire-ladders, and comets."--_Holyoke
