KINGSLEY.

DANA, R.H. (p. 178)
Two Years Before the Mast.
Houghton. 1.00
It does not often happen that a young man of twenty-five writes a
book which becomes a classic in the language.... Yet this is the
history of Dana's Two Years before the Mast.--_Biographical
Sketch._
The author, a boy of nineteen, left Harvard College in 1834 and
shipped as a sailor, hoping by this open-air life to cure a serious
weakness of the eyes. He sailed around Cape Horn, coasted along the
California shore, and returned home by the same route.

EASTMAN, C.A.
Indian Boyhood.
Illustrated by E.L. Blumenschein.
Doubleday. 1.60
Dr. Eastman is himself a Sioux, and this account is the record of his
own youth among this wild people when their warriors went on the
warpath against the "Big Knives," and his highest ambition was to join
them.

FINNEMORE, JOHN.
India.
Illustrated by Mortimer Menpes.
Macmillan. .75
We journey to the court of a native prince, travel through the
bazaars, and visit village, jungle, and even the great Himalayas
themselves.
