The bare announcement of a new series of books by Oliver Optic will
delight boys all over the country. When they farther learn that
their favorite author proposes to 'personally conduct' his army of
readers on a grand tour of the world, there will be a terrible
scramble for excursion tickets--that is, the opening volume of the
'Globe Trotting Series.' Of one thing the boys may be dead sure, it
will be no tame, humdrum journey, for Oliver Optic does not believe
that fun and excitement are injurious to boys, but, on the contrary,
if of the right kind he thinks it does them good. Louis Belgrave
is a fortunate lad, because, at the age of sixteen, he was the
possessor of a cool million of dollars. No one, not even a young
boy, can travel without money, as our author well knows, therefore
he at once provided a liberal supply. Louis is a fine young fellow
with good principles and honor, so he can be trusted to spend his
million wisely. But he does not have entirely smooth sailing. In the
first place he has a rascally step-father whom he had to subjugate,
a dear mother to protect and care for, and the missing million to
find before he could commence his delightful travels. They are all
accomplished at last, and there was plenty of excitement and brave
exploits in the doing of them, as the boy readers will find. The
cover design shows many things--a globe, the Eiffel tower,
mountains, seas, rivers, castles and other things Louis will see
on his travels.--_Current Review._
