ven if truth were not stranger than fiction, to the healthful mind
it ought to be far more fascinating. Such works as this are not only
entertaining and informing, but their whole atmosphere is bracing.
They are as much better than sentimental heart histories or imaginary
personal experiences as a day in the open air is better than a day in
a close and crowded apartment."--_N. Y. Observer._

"The book may very well be a favorite at the holiday time, but it has
permanent worth and permanent interest also, which will give it a
place in well-selected libraries."--_N. Y. Evening Post._
