for which a careful study was made
by the author in a summer tour of the immense
water sources of America. The story, which
carries the same hero through the six books of
the series, is always entertaining, novel
scenes and varied incidents giving a constantly
changing yet always attractive aspect to the
narrative. OLIVER OPTIC has written nothing
better."

"The series has this peculiarity, that all of
its constituent volumes are independent of one
another, and therefore each story is complete
in itself. OLIVER OPTIC is, perhaps, the
favorite author of the boys and girls of this
country, and he seems destined to enjoy an
endless popularity. He deserves his success,
for he makes very interesting stories, and
inculcates none but the best sentiments, and
the 'Yacht Club' is no exception to this
rule."--_New Haven Journal and Courier._

"Paul Farringford, the hero of these tales, is,
like most of this author's heroes, a young man
of high spirit, and of high aims and correct
principles, appearing in the different volumes
as a farmer, a captain, a bookkeeper, a
soldier, a sailor, and a traveller. In all of
them the hero meets with very exciting
adventures, told in the graphic style for which
the author is famous."
