"Stevenson's Treasure Island." (Pocket Classics Series.)
Edited by H. A. Vance. 24mo. Cloth, $.25. Macmillan.
The boy who has read this capital story of adventure must of necessity have more of Stevenson and had better try "Kidnapped" next. He may sometime become absorbed in the wonderful tales of a favourite of Stevenson himself, Dumas. Listen to the testimony of Thackeray about the great French story-teller as it was written in the essay, "On a Lazy, Idle Boy": "What was the book in the hands of my lad as he stood by the river shore? Do you suppose that it was Livy, or the Greek grammar? No: it was D'Artagnan locking up General Monk in a box, or the prisoner of the Château d'If cutting himself out of the sack fifty feet under water and swimming to the island of Monte Cristo. Be assured the lazy boy was reading Dumas; and as for the tender pleadings of his mother that he should not let his supper grow cold—I don't believe the scapegrace cared one fig. No! Figs are sweet, but fictions are sweeter."

The great field of realistic fiction will later open up to the boy, but he must be in no hurry to enter it. When he does enter it, however, see that he selects well, and urge him to read in moderation. He might well start with such books as "David Copperfield" and "The Mill on the Floss," leaving Thackeray untouched for a few years until he can better appreciate him. With a taste once formed for any one of these great novelists, he will stand in little danger from the almost countless current stories that are always getting in his way.
