as borne his name. It would not
be fair to the prospective reader to deprive him of the zest which
comes from the unexpected by entering into a synopsis of the story.
A word, however, should be said in regard to the beauty and
appropriateness of the binding, which makes it a most attractive
volume."--_Boston Budget_.

"Though we are not so young as we once were, we relished these
stories almost as much as the boys and girls for whom they were
written. They were really refreshing, even to us. There is much in
them which is calculated to inspire a generous, healthy ambition,
and to make distasteful all reading tending to stimulate base
desires."--_Fitchburg Reveille_.

"Mr. ADAMS, the celebrated and popular writer, familiarly known as
OLIVER OPTIC, seems to have inexhaustible funds for weaving
together the virtues of life; and, notwithstanding he has written
scores of books, the same freshness and novelty run through them
all. Some people think the sensational element predominates.
Perhaps it does. But a book for young people needs this, and so
long as good sentiments are inculcated such books ought to be
read."
