VASCO DA GAMA:

HIS VOYAGES AND ADVENTURES.

"Da Gama's history is full of striking adventures, thrilling incidents,
and perilous situations; and Mr. Towle, while not sacrificing historical
accuracy, has so skilfully used his materials, that we have a charmingly
romantic tale."--_Rural New-Yorker._

PIZARRO:

HIS ADVENTURES AND CONQUESTS.

"No hero of romance possesses greater power to charm the youthful reader
than the conqueror of Peru. Not even King Arthur, or Thaddeus of Warsaw,
has the power to captivate the imagination of the growing boy. Mr. Towle
has handled his subject in a glowing but truthful manner; and we
venture the assertion, that, were our children led to read such books
as this, the taste for unwholesome, exciting, wrong-teaching boys'
books--dime novels in books' clothing--would be greatly diminished,
to the great gain of mental force and moral purpose in the rising
generation."--_Chicago Alliance._

MAGELLAN;

OR, THE FIRST VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD.

"What more of romantic and spirited adventures any bright boy could want
than is to be found in this series of historical biography, it is
difficult to imagine. This volume is written in a most sprightly
manner; and the life of its hero, Fernan Magellan, with its rapid
stride from the softness of a petted youth to the sturdy courage
and persevering fortitude of manhood, makes a tale of marvellous
fascination."--_Christian Union._

MARCO POLO:

HIS TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES.

"The story of the adventurous Venetian, who six hundred years ago
penetrated into India and Cathay and Thibet and Abyssinia, is pleasantly
and clearly told; and nothing better can be put into the hands of the
school boy or girl than this series of the records of noted travellers.
The heroism displayed by these men was certainly as great as that ever
shown by conquering warrior; and it was exercised in a far nobler
cause,--the cause of knowledge and discovery, which has made the
nineteenth century what it is."--_Graphic._
