TREASURE ISLAND.
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
"A book for boys which will be delightful to all grown men who have the sentiment of treasure hunting."—Saturday Review. "As we follow the narrative of the boy Jim Hawkins we hold our breath at his dangers, and breathe again at his escapes."—The Athenaum.
"Mr. Stevenson's story is skilfully constructed, and related with untiring vivacity and genuine dramatic power. It deals with a mysterious island, a buried treasure, the bold buccaneer, and all the stirring incidents of a merry life on the main."—The Academy.
"'Treasure Island' is a real work of art, and at the same time so exciting that we are not ashamed to own that we found it difficult, when wt had once begun, to lay it down before the last page was reached."—John Bull.
"'Mr. Stevenson has shown an extraordinary faculty of imagination and dramatic presentation in 'Treasure Island.'"—Standard.
"We began to look at 'Treasure Island' while hungrily waiting the announcement of dinner, but when the summons came we regretted the cook's punctuality. That evening we were forced to go to the theatre, but Mr. Stevenson's book went too, and between the Acts we followed Jim Hawkins, the youthful hero, together with Squire Trelawney and Dr. Livesey, who took him on the cruise to Treasure Island, till they were embarked at Bristol on board the Hispaniola. During a short railway journey home after the theatre, we landed with the adventurers at the island, and there were most thoroughly justified the worst suspicions that had been formed concerning the crew which the Squire had so strangely got together, a crew of pirates who had sailed with Captain Kidd, and proposed to help themselves to the buried millions, after going through what was to them the unimportant trifle of cutting the throats of Trelawney, the Doctor, Jim, and their few adherents. The train stopped at our station just as Jim had embarked in the coracle to cut adrift the Hispaniola, whose crew, honest and villainous, were at war on the island itself; and, unable to wait till we reached home, we stood under a lamp-post and finished the chapter. This narrative, for the personal nature of which we apologise, will best show the reader the irresistible fascination of the book. The interest never flags. Nor is it only the broad narrative that is enthralling. The book is written with wonderful felicity of detail. One seems to be witness of the exciting events which are related." —Illustrated Sportiiigand Dramatic News.

BY
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
Twentieth Thousand. Price 3s. 6d.
The Times says:— "'Treasure Island' and 'Kidnapped' had as many admirers as readers, and 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' was a marvellous tour d'esprit. But in 'The Master of Ballantrae' we have no hesitation in saying that Mr. Stevenson surpasses all his former performances, and in our opinion there are very few novels which so nearly approach perfection. It is compact, and it is so artistically constructed that you can hardly afford to skip a sentence. The story is sensational in the highest degree, yet the sensation of startling incident is subordinated throughout to the interest excited by the evolution of character. There is a subtle analysis of the mixed motives which elude any clear conclusions, and there is an ingenuity in the development of the incidents which keeps curiosity perpetually on the stretch."
The Observer says:— "We have here a work so original in conception, so superlatively artistic in texture, as almost to exempt a reviewer from the need of exercising his critical functions."
The Pall Mall Gazette says:— "Mr. Stevenson has done it at last: in 'The Master of Ballantrae' he has produced something very like a classic.... The strength of the book lies in the combined subtlety and poignancy of its spiritual drama. We have here delicacies of analysis that Mr. Meredith has scarcely surpassed, flashes of the keenest imaginative insight.... Old Lord Durrisdeer, too, is drawn with unfailing felicity, a quite original character, yet one whom Scott would not have disowned."
The Illustrated London News says:— "Mr. Stevenson has literally gone through each mode of the lyre, and has mastered them all. His last victory is his greatest. . . 'The Master of Ballantrae' is one of those few books of which even a poor man says to himself, when he has finished it, 'I would give a guinea never to have read it, that I might read it again for the first time.'"
The Scotsman says: — "'The Master of Ballantrae' has a thousand excellences in its rich language, its many characters, its varied procession of beautiful scenes, the harmonious conduct of the narrative, and the fine spirit of romance which animates it all."
The Irish Times says:— "This tale, which Messrs. Cassell & Co. have published for Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson, will add vastly to his reputation as a romancist of the higher modern order."

The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses. By Robert Louis Stevenson.
"If 'Ivanhoe' be the most brilliant tale for boys which genius ever penned, 'The Black Arrow' certainly deserves to be mentioned next to it as one which, without even suggesting an imitator, displays a master-hand in the same field. Mr. Stevenson's delightful story is fresh, eager, and skilful."—Spectator.
Ninth Thousand. Illustrated. Price 3s. 6d.
The Splendid Spur. By Q., Author
of "Dead Man's Rock," "Troy Town," etc. The Times of February 5th says:—"'The Splendid Spur' is decidedly Q.'s most successful effort, and we do not scruple to say that it raises its author to a high place in the new school of novelists—the school of action. "
Illustrated Edition. Eighty-Fourth Thousand. Price 3s. 6d.
King Solomon's Mines. By H. Rider Haggard. With Full-Page Original Illustrations by Walter Paget.
"To tell the truth, we would give many novels, say eight hundred (that is about the yearly harvest), for such a book as 'King Solomon's Mines.' "—Saturday Review.
The Wrecker. By Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne. Illustrated. 6s.
"'The Wrecker ' seems much the most enticing romance at present before the world. The character of the captain is one of the most wonderful things Mr. Stevenson has done, and the description of the voyage to the islands is among his finest pictures."—Mr. Andrew Lang, in the New Review.
Noughts and Crosses: stories, Studies and Sketches. By Q. Price 5s.
"In the best there is great artistic skill of construction, great refinement and tenderness of feeling, and we find touches of that truest humour which smiles through tears."—Saturday Review.

"The incidents of the story are of a kind so unusual, that they will be fresh even to the most industrious reader of novels."—Morning Post.
CASSELL& COMPANY, Limited, Ludgate Hill, London; and all Booksellers. ​ "The adventures in ' Kidnapped' are so continuously thrilling as to preclude the chance of any one laying the booh down before the last page is readied."—St. James's Gazette.

"KIDNAPPED." ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON,
Author of "Treasure Island" &c., &c.
"'Kidnapped' is almost, if not quite, as fascinating as ' Treasure Island;' and in some respects we prefer it. The interest is as steadily sustained, and there is more sobriety in the sensations. From the beginning to the end there is a rich variety of vividly dramatic incidents. 'Kidnapped,' as we think, ranks rather before 'Treasure Island,' inasmuch as there are deeper and more delicate discriminations of character. And that is rare in a short tale of stirring adventure, although written with the romantic but realistic minuteness of Defoe."—The Times.
"It is the best thing he has ever done out of many good things, better even than ' Treasure Island;' nay, and I would go farther, and say it is the best thing any man has done for many a long day. The tale, which is genuine narrative, a story pure and simple, is told by a young Scottish lad, kidnapped by a rascally old uncle, who is keeping him out of his kingdom, and packed over sea to be sold to slavery in the plantations. After some rousing scenes, and especially a notable fight in which young Balfour (the story-teller) and one Alan Breck, a Jacobite adventurer (a rare character, worthy almost of Sir "Walter), keep the round-house against the whole ship's crew, the brig is wrecked off the coast of Skye, and thence onward the theme is the Ulyssean wanderings of Balfour and Alan through the Highlands, at that time swept backwards and forwards by King George's troops on the watch for proscribed rebels— a situation much complicated by the too timely removal of an inconvenient Campbell."—The World.
"Mr. Stevenson's study in Highland character in 'Kidnapped,' in its strength and its weakness, is the best thing of the sort which has been written since ' Rob Roy,' if, indeed, it is not better than 'Rob Roy.'"—Daily News.
"Its description of the scenery of the Highlands in the old, wild times, is as charming as a vivid imagination could make it; and the description of the cowardly old miser who plotted his nephew's death rather than give him up his inheritance, is as vivid as anything which Mr. Stevenson's singular genius has yet invented for us."—Spectator.
"A graphic story here you'll find, by R. L. Stevenson,
It beats the Treasure Island—or any he has done!
From opening unto finish your attention's kept alive— The scene is laid in Scotland, just after 'Forty-five— 'Tis a tale of wild adventure most marvellously told,
And cunningly the writer does his clever plot unfold;
Throughout the narrative we find the author at his best,
'Tis full of fight and bustle and of thrilling interest;
The characters are drawn, you'll find, with most consummate skill— A book you ought at once to read, and read at once you will."—Punch.
