The "Athenæum" says:—"There is no more practical way of communicating elementary information than that which has been adopted in this series. When we see contained in 124 small pages (as in Fast in the Ice) such information as a man of fair education should possess about icebergs, northern lights, Esquimaux, musk-oxen, bears, walruses, &c., together with all the ordinary incidents of an Arctic voyage woven into a clear connected narrative, we must admit that a good work has been done, and that the author deserves the gratitude of those for whom the books are especially designed, and also of young people of all classes."

ABOVEBOARD. A Tale of Adventure on the Sea. With Six Illustrations. Extra crown 8vo. 5s.

"This story of a cruise is about as full of adventures as it can well be. There is plenty of 'go' in the narrative, and the incidents succeed each other with a very plausible probability."—Spectator.
"It is a long time since we have read anything racier, breezier, more healthful and invigorating than Mr. Metcalfe's fine sea story."—Methodist Recorder.

"'The Yarl's Yacht' is even superior in interest to its predecessor."-Standard.
"Mrs. Saxby knows young people as few know them, and they will in return thoroughly appreciate her. As long as she writes such genuine, refreshing, happy family stories for them, they certainly will be most fortunate."—Spectator.
"'The Yarl's Yacht' is a delightful sequel to the 'Lads of Lunda.'"—Times.
