“Good, wholesome, stirring reading for boys of all ages. The scenes of these adventures are laid in every quarter of the globe, and they include every variety of peril.”—World.
“Mr. Ascott Hope has hit upon a really excellent idea in his ‘Stories of Young Adventurers,’ and carried it out with admirable success.... It would be difficult to pick out a better book of its kind; young readers will hang over every page with an absorbing interest, and all the time will be imbibing some useful historical information. We should like to think that so thoroughly good a book will be in the hands of a great many boyish readers.”—Guardian.
“Sure to make the eyes of our boys gleam.... The tone is healthy and robust, and for its kind the book is one of the best we know.”—Sword and Trowel.
“A debt of gratitude is due to Mr. Hope.... The work is as good as the design.”—Athenæum.
