PRESS NOTICES.
"'Under Dewey at Manila' is a thoroughly timely book, in perfect
sympathy with the patriotism of the day. Its title is conducive to
its perusing, and its reading to anticipation. For the volume is
but the first of the Old Glory Series, and the imprint is that of
the famed firm of Lee and Shepard, whose name has been for so many
years linked with the publications of Oliver Optic. As a matter of
fact, the story is right in line with the productions of that
gifted and most fascinating of authors, and certainly there is
every cause for congratulation that the stirring events of our
recent war are not to lose their value for instruction through
that valuable school which the late William T. Adams made so
individually distinctive.
"Edward Stratemeyer, who is the author of the present work, has
proved an extraordinarily apt scholar, and had the book appeared
anonymously there could hardly have failed of a unanimous
opinion that a miracle had enabled the writer of the famous
Army and Navy and other series to resume his pen for the volume
in hand. Mr. Stratemeyer has acquired in a wonderfully successful
degree the knack of writing an interesting educational story which
will appeal to the young people, and the plan of his trio of
books as outlined cannot fail to prove both interesting and
valuable."--_Boston Ideas._
"Stratemeyer's style suits the boys."--John Terhune, _Supt. of
Public Instruction, Bergen Co., New Jersey_.
"'The Young Volunteer in Cuba,' the second of the Old Glory
Series, is better than the first; perhaps it traverses more
familiar ground. Ben Russell, the brother of Larry, who was 'with
Dewey,' enlists with the volunteers and goes to Cuba, where he
shares in the abundance of adventure and has a chance to show his
courage and honesty and manliness, which win their reward. A good
book for boys, giving a good deal of information in a most
attractive form."--_Universalist Leader_
