n the volume before us are given several
of these tales, and they comprise a book which will give them a
popularity greater than they have ever before enjoyed. They are written
in a spirited style, impart valuable practical lessons, and are of the
most lively interest. We have seen these stories likened to Arthur's
domestic tales; but while they instil equally as valuable lessons, we
think them written with much more force and spirit.--_Boston Home

"Oliver Optic" is a _nom de plume_ that is known and loved by almost
every boy of intelligence in the land. We have seen a highly
intellectual and world-weary man, a cynic whose heart was somewhat
imbittered by its large experience of human nature, take up one of
Oliver Optic's books and read it at a sitting, neglecting his work in
yielding to the fascination of the pages. When a mature and exceedingly
well-informed mind, long despoiled of all its freshness, can thus find
pleasure in a book for boys, no additional words of recommendation are
needed.--_Sunday Times._
