Mr. ADAMS has yet put forth, and will be as eagerly
perused as any that has 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."
