books of travel that can be offered to
the attention of youthful readers, is
entitled, 'fOur Young Folks Abroad, "

OF four American boys and girls in a

The plan adopted in the arrange
ment of this book has some elements
of novelty. An American gentleman
sails, accompanied by his wife and
their children and a nephew and
niece, for Europe. This well consti-
tuted party visits England, France,
Belgium, Germany and Switzerland.
Then they engaged pleasure yacht
and visited many of the prominent
ports of the MEDITERRANEAN sea, arriy-
ing at length in Constantinople.
The narrative tells of the adven-
lures of the party, of the cities and
countries they saw and the impress
sions of the younger portion of their
little groupe. The style is entertain
ing and at the same time instructive.
The illustrations are tasteful and nu-
merous, while the print is large and
the paper of a frst-class. The book
is well bound; the back is illuminated
in colors. Price, 81 rs.
