Stuyvesant. The hero-a runaway from
the tyranny of a scoundrelly ship captain
little better than a pirates rescued
from his many troubles by the timely
capture of the Dutch city when the Eng

drawn with the truth and force the au-
thor exhibited in his previous book, Mas
ter Skylark,' play their stirring drama on
this little stage
While "Barnaby Lee was first pub
lished as a serial story in St. Nicholas.

to older people as we'll as to boys
and girls that the publishers are
offering it not simply Juvenile but
as story worth the reading of people of
any age.

very numerous, but they are extremely

when its doughty, one-legged Governor

issued from the press of the Henry AL

Prey and Spoils, or the Boy Buccaneer,"
by Fred A. Ober Mr.. Ober through his

slip, by Mansveldt. one of the most noto-
rious of the pirates that once infested the
blue Caribbean.
Compelled against his will to join the
band CT freebooters, adventures come
thick and fast to the lad; and enough
hair-breadth escapes are woven into the
story to satisfy the most exacting of boy
readers.
Cities are sacked and converts burned;
and then 1t is Away again, wolves of
the sea-" and tall galleons deep-laden
with precious ingots and trails of pearls
fall to them: and all these activities
move on in the most approved buccaneer-
ing fashion, which is one of delight to
all-young old. gentle simple, ;
who come under the spell of For Prey
and Spoils.' The price of the book is 81.

works, to the year 1903, including a great
number Of heretofore unpublished MSS.
which have been gathered from various
foreign archives and libraries, principally
from Spain, Portugal, France. England,
Italy. Mexico, Japan, the Philippines, etc.
The manuscripts, which have been known
to very few scholars only, and have
been very difficult heretofore to study,
are of great Importance at the present
time.
The series will be edited and annotated
by Miss Emma Helen Blair, A. NJ, of the
State Historical Society of Wisconsin, as
sistant editor of The Jesuit Relations and
Allied Documents, and James Alexander
Robertson, Phi. B., also formerly engaged
upon that work. A historical introduce

thority on early Spanish discoveries and
colonizations in the New World. The
series will include a very careful and eX-
tensive photography of Philippina-the
most valuable that has yet appeared.
There will also be an extensive analytical
index to the complete series.
