ROLLO'S TOUR IN EUROPE:

BEING A NEW SERIES OF

ROLLO BOOKS,

BY REV. JACOB ABBOTT.

IN SIX VOLUMES, BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED.

_Extract from the Preface._

In this series of narratives we offer to the readers of the Rollo Books
a continuation of the history of our little hero, by giving them an
account of the adventures which such a boy may be expected to meet with
in making a tour of Europe. The books are intended to be books of
instruction rather than of mere amusement; and, in perusing them, the
reader may feel assured that all the information which they contain, not
only in respect to the countries visited, but to the customs, usages,
and modes of life that are described, and also in regard to the general
character of the incidents and adventures that the young travellers meet
with, is in most strict accordance with fact. The main design of the
narratives is, thus, the communication of useful knowledge; and
everything which they contain, except what is strictly personal, in
relation to the actors in the story, may be depended upon as exactly and
scrupulously true.

_Notices of the Press._

We know of no books that are so eagerly sought for by good boys and
girls as Mr. Abbott's new series of "Rollo Books."--_Hartford Christian
Secretary._

Mr. Abbott has a singularly successful faculty of conveying instruction
with entertainment, and of interesting all classes of readers, but more
particularly the young. All will say that the more we have of such
useful and pleasant volumes the better.--_Salem Register._

They give excellent lessons in Geography and History, in the most
pleasing forms. They are beautifully printed, and illustrated with fine
engravings.--_New Haven Palladium._

There is no wonder that the "Rollo Books" are so extremely popular, for
we doubt if many of us "children of a larger growth" can escape their
fascination.--_Salem Observer._

A careful perusal of the volume under notice (Switzerland) will give the
young reader not only as good a geographical knowledge of the country it
describes as would be obtained at a term at school, but will acquaint
him with the habits, manners, and characteristics of the people of
Switzerland.--_American Citizen_.

No living man is his equal in story-telling for the young, and the book
will find its way into thousands of homes.--_Hartford Republican._

They contain a great deal of useful information, conveyed in a most
pleasing and interesting manner
