All-Over-the-World Library. By OLIVER OPTIC. Third Series. Illustrated.
Price per volume, $1.25.

1. Across India; OR, LIVE BOYS IN THE FAR EAST.

2. Half Round the World; OR, AMONG THE UNCIVILIZED.

3. Four Young Explorers; OR, SIGHT-SEEING IN THE TROPICS.

4. Pacific Shores; OR, ADVENTURES IN EASTERN SEAS.

Amid such new and varied surroundings it would be surprising indeed
if the author, with his faculty of making even the commonplace
attractive, did not tell an intensely interesting story of
adventure, as well as give much information in regard to the
distant countries through which our friends pass, and the strange
peoples with whom they are brought in contact. This book, and
indeed the whole series, is admirably adapted to reading aloud in
the family circle, each volume containing matter which will
interest all the members of the family.--_Boston Budget._
