Richard Halpin : a Romance of the New Navy. By

Morgan Robertson. (Smith, Elder, and Co. 6s.)—Richard Hatpin is the sort of novel of which it is only necessary to say that it is a spirited story of adventure, in which a boy, unjustly expelled from school for a theft he did not commit, goes to sea, does heroic things, and comes home an officer of the American Navy to marry the girl whose brother's sin got him originally into trouble. It will appeal to boys of all ages from fifteen to fifty.
