Kingston's Annual for Boys. 1863. (Sampson Low, Son, and Co.)—
The Nest Hunters. By William Dalton, author of "Will Adams," dre. (Hall and Co.)—A Chat with Boys on New Year's Eve. By Old Merry. (Jackson, Walford, and Hodder.)—These three books are specially in- tended for boys. The merits of Mr. Kingston's " Annual," which has now reached the fourth year of its existence, are so well known that it is unnecessary to say more than that the present volume is in no respect inferior to its predecessors. Mr. Dalton has made an interesting and adventurous story the medium for conveying a great deal of informa- tion respecting the Indian Archipelago and its inhabitants. The gentle- man who writes under the pseudonym of "Old Merry" possesses the rare art of giving good advice to boys in a form which is likely not to be distasteful to those for whom it is designed.
