WILLIAM O. STODDARD'S CAPITAL STORIES FOR BOYS.
The Boston Globe says of Mr. Stoddard's books for boys:
"It was a bold attempt, in the face of the great success of sensational literature for the young, to seek to bend boys to self-reliance, duty and honor, by interesting them in the incidents and rewards of manly boy-life at home and at school, and in its games and sports; and a good deal of knowledge of boy character, of sympathy with boy nature, and skill in reaching boy interest, and regard, were required to accomplish his purpose. The plan was a noble one, and its results are a triumph which shows that it is possible, without thrilling adventure on the ocean or in Western wilds, in exciting scenes of peril and death, or unnatural and bad characters and situations, to secure the earnest attention of boys and their approval."

"The story appeals to boys, not only on their better side, but on the side which is strongest and highest in the boy view of the matter."—The Independent.
