"Jack Manly": the Gabon Cliff, Africa, 1862. It may, perhaps, surprise some of the readers of the numerous romances of so popular a writer as Mr. James Grant to find him appearing as the author of a tale for boys. Nevertheless, here he is coming out in his best strength in a stirring story entitled "Jack Manly: his Adventures by Sea and Land." It is not within the province of this notice to trace the adventures of the hero from the point at which he tells us "why he went to sea"; but we can warrant their being found full of the interest which might be expected from a work of this nature. From some very remarkable illustrations we have selected one entitled "The Gabon Cliff." The scene is on the great river of Guinea, the Rio Gabon, and depicts the torture inflicted or three young seamen by an African King into whose hands certain of the persons delineated in the book have fallen. The passage which the Engraving illustrates is very powerfully written, and the pictorial description is in happy consonance with the text'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
