PRESS OPINIONS OF EDWARD STRATEMEYER'S BOOKS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

"Mr. Edward Stratemeyer is in danger of becoming very popular among the
young people of the country."--_Burlington_ (Iowa) _Hawk-eye._

"'The Last Cruise of the Spitfire' is of deep interest to the bounding
heart of an enthusiastic boy. The book leaves a good impression on a
boy's mind, as it teaches the triumph of noble deeds and true
heroism."--_Kansas City_ (Mo.) _Times._

"Let us mention in passing two admirable books for boys, 'Reuben Stone's
Discovery' and 'Oliver Bright's Search,' by Edward Stratemeyer, with
whom we are all acquainted. This last bit of his work is especially
good, and the boy who gets one of these volumes will become very
popular among his fellows until the book is worn threadbare."--_N.Y.
Herald._

"A good sea-tale for boys is 'The Last Cruise of the Spitfire,' by
Edward Stratemeyer. There is plenty of adventure in it, a shipwreck, a
cruise on a raft, and other stirring perils of the deep."--_Detroit_
(Mich.) _Journal._

"In a simple, plain, straightforward manner, Mr. Edward Stratemeyer
endeavors to show his boy readers what persistency, honesty, and
willingness to work have accomplished for his young hero, and his moral
is evident. Mr. Stratemeyer is very earnest and sincere in his
portraiture of young character beginning to shape itself to weather
against the future. A book of this sort is calculated to interest boys,
to feed their ambition with hope, and to indicate how they must fortify
themselves against the wiles of vice."--_Boston Herald._
