"The story from its inception, and through the twelve volumes (see
Second Series), is a bewitching one, while the information imparted
concerning the countries of Europe and the isles of the sea is not
only correct in every particular, but is told in a captivating
style. OLIVER OPTIC will continue to be the boys' friend, and his
pleasant books will continue to be read by thousands of American
boys. What a fine holiday present either or both series of Young
America Abroad' would be for a young friend! It would make a little
library highly prized by the recipient, and would not be an
expensive one."--_Providence Press._

"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
embittered 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._
