resting writer
in the field of juvenile literature than Mr. W.
T. ADAMS, who, under his well-known pseudonym,
is known and admired by every boy and girl in
the country, and by thousands who have long
since passed the boundaries of youth, yet who
remember with pleasure the genial, interesting
pen that did so much to interest, instruct, and
entertain their younger years. 'The Blue and
the Gray' is a title that is sufficiently
indicative of the nature and spirit of the
latest series, while the name of OLIVER OPTIC
is sufficient warrant of the absorbing style of
narrative. This series is as bright and
entertaining as any work that 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._
