Mr. Lanier's books, in which he presents to boy readers the old English
classics of history and legend in such attractive form, are now issued
in four uniform volumes, well made and well illustrated. While they are
stories of action and stirring incident, which make them extremely
exciting, they teach those lessons which manly, honest boys ought to
learn. The oath of the young fourteenth century knight made him vow to
speak the truth, to perform a promise to the utmost, to reverence all
women to maintain right and honesty, to help the weak, to treat high and
low with courtesy, to be fair to a bitter foe, and to pursue simplicity,
modesty and gentleness of heart and bearing; and the nineteenth century
knight is he who takes the same oath of fidelity to truth, honesty and
purity of heart. The illustrations are full of fire and spirit, and add
very much to one's enjoyment of the book.

"Amid all the strange and fanciful scenery of these stories, character
and the ideals of character remain at the simplest and purest. The
romantic history transpires in the healthy atmosphere of the open air on
the green earth beneath the open sky. * * * The figures of Right, Truth,
Justice, Honor, Purity, Courage, Reverence for Law, are always in the
background; and the grand passion inspired by the book is for strength
to do well and nobly in the world."
--_The Independent._

"It is quite the beau ideal of a book for a present to an intelligent
boy or girl."
--_Baltimore Gazette._
