"The mirthful old gentleman whose name is on the title page of many a sound and generous volume for boys and girls, and whose distinctive qualities cause him to be held in the highest possible esteem by all the little people of our acquaintance, has been on his travels—accompanied, of course, by a lot of youngsters, in France, Switzerland, and Rhineland. Every one rejoices in Old Merry. He is such a quaint, cheery, garrulous comical old boy, and altogether innocent of 'fogeyism.' We almost wish he would die, so that we could render a full tribute to his virtues in language that would offend his modesty if it were uttered in his lifetime."—Athenæum.
