my ship and her crew of
boys, with their trips into the interior as well as voyages along the
coast of Ireland and Scotland. The young scholar will get a truer and
fuller conception of these countries by reading this unpretentious
journal of travel, than by weeks of hard study upon the geographies and
histories."

RED CROSS; or, Young America in England and Wales. $1.50.

"The third volume of Oliver Optic's Library of travel and adventure
chronicles the doings of the Young America and her crew in British
ports and waters, and is replete with thrilling adventures and
descriptions of noted places."

DIKES AND DITCHES; or, Young America in Holland and Belgium. $1.50

"The author takes his readers on voyages up the rivers and canals of
Holland and Belgium, on tramps through the cities, their schools, their
art galleries, and their wonderful buildings, giving at every turn
vivid impressions of what is seen and heard therein and thereabouts."

PALACE AND COTTAGE; or, Young America in France and Switzerland. $1.50

"This volume relates the history of the American Squadron (_Young
America_ and _Josephine_) in the waters of France, with the journey
of the students to Paris and through a portion of Switzerland. As
an episode, the story of the runaway cruise of the Josephine is
introduced, inculcating the moral that 'the way of the transgressor
is hard.'"

DOWN THE RHINE; or, Young America in Germany. $1.50.

This volume concludes the first series of Young America, and is as
interesting and instructive as the preceding volumes. So great has been
the success of this series, that Oliver Optic is now preparing a
second. "Up the Baltic" will be the first volume, to be followed by
"Northern Lands," "Vine and Olive," "Sunny Shores," "Cross and
Crescent" and "Isles of the Sea."

"One noticeable feature of this author's books is their purity. Not a
line is to be found in any work of his but what will tend to elevate
and purify the mind of the boy or girl who may peruse it."
