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._
