Jack The Conqueror.

From the Christian Observer. (Feb., 1891.)
The story of "Jack the Conqueror" is first-rate. It carries a wholesome lesson with it, and the children will enjoy reading the story.
From the Independent. (Feb. 5, 1891.)
It is a good little book to put into the hands of boys. The spirit and pluck of a right-minded lad battling successfully against difficulties are well depicted.
From the Christian Cynosure. (Dec. 18, 1890.)
This is a healthful, cheerful English story, telling of the difficulties about the path of a poor boy, and how, one by one, he overcame them, until he became an illustrious and useful man. The book is tastefully illustrated, and contains excellent lessons for boys who would rise into a useful life, as well as for older people, who may do a great work for God by a little help given in Christ's name and with good sense.
From the Lutheran Observer. (Dec. 19, 1890.)
The design of this story is to show boys and girls how to overcome difficulties by means of energy and perseverance. It is an excellent story, and conveys valuable lessons.
From the Golden Rule. (Feb. 19, 1891.)
"Resolve well, and persevere" is the excellent motto of the book, and is strikingly exemplified by the hero of the story. Jack so completely conquers one difficulty after another as to rise from a ragged, useless boy to an honored educator in cap and gown. The narrative is an incitement to nobler living, and it is pleasant, safe, and easy reading for boys.
From the Christian Intelligencer. (Feb. 18, 1891.)
"Jack the Conqueror, and Other Stories," is a bright little book for children. It is tastefully gotten up, and suitable for the family or the Sunday-school library.
From the Zion's Herald. (Feb. 4, 1891.)
Three short stories calculated to interest and instruct the younger readers. It will please both boys and girls.
