We gladly accord a welcome, which we have already more
than once expressed, to the Boy's Own Annual and the Girl's Own Annual. (Boy's Own Paper Office, 56 Paternoster Row.)—These are the annual volumes of the Boy's Own Paper and the Girl's Own Paper respectively. To the former, Mr. Talbot Baines Reed contributes one of his stories of school-life, "A Boy with a Bad Name ;" Mr. Paul Blake, another of a similar kind, "The Marquis of Torchester ;" and Commander Cameron, one of his tales of African adventure. For the girls, we have a story by Miss Rosa Nottohette Carey, "Merle's Crusade," "The Inheritance of a Good Name," by Misa Louisa Menzies, and others. As for the miscellaneous contents, we cannot pretend to describe them. It must suffice to say that they seem well suited to the readers for whom they are intended. There is plenty of play and plenty of earnest.
