By the death of Talbot B. Reed the boys of the English-speaking world have lost one of their best friends. For fourteen years he has contributed to their pleasure, and in the little library of boys' books which left his pen he has done as much as any writer of our day to raise the standard of boys' literature. His books are alike removed from the old-fashioned and familiar class of boys' stories, which, meaning well, generally baffled their own purpose by attempting to administer morality and doctrine on what Reed called the powder-in-jam principle-a process apt to spoil the jam, yet make the powder no less nauseous; or, on the other hand, the class of book that dealt in thrilling adventure of the blood-curdling and penny dreadful order. With neither of these types have Talbot Reed's boys' books any kinship.
