10/19 ISLES OF THE SEA; Or, Young America Homeward Bound. We have seen a highly intellectual and world-weary man, a cynic whose heart was somewhat imbittered by its large experience of human nature, take up one of Oliver Optic's books and read it at a sitting, neglecting his work in yielding to the fascination of the pages. When a mature and exceedingly well-informed mind, long despoiled of all its freshness, can thus find pleasure in a book for boys, no additional words of recommendation are needed .-- _Sunday Times._ _OLIVER OPTIC'S BOOKS._ FAMOUS "BOAT-CLUB" SERIES, Library for Young People. Six volumes, handsomely illustrated. THE BOAT CLUB; Or, The Bonkers of Rippleton. |
