“The table of contents gives such a bill of fare as will render the boy into whose hands this book falls eager to enjoy the feast prepared for him. We venture to predict for this charming book a popularity equal to ‘Self-Help.’... No better gift could be put into a boy’s hands, and it will become a standard work for the school library.”—Scholastic World.
“Who the author of the book is, has been kept a secret, and the anonymity we regret, because the work is one with which no writer need be ashamed to identify his name and stake his reputation.”—Edinburgh Daily Review.
“It is a boy’s book of the best style.”—Aberdeen Journal.
