“To the student of geography Marco Polo needs no introduction. He is revered as the greatest of all travellers in the Middle Ages, and by more than one careful geographer his work is believed to have led to the discovery of the New World by the Hardy Mariner of Genoa.... The story of his travels was received with incredulity, and he died while Europe was gravely doubting its truth. It has remained for later generations to establish the correctness of his narrative and accord him the praise he so richly deserves.”

I.—Under Orders. The Story of a Young Reporter.
“It is pleasure to open a juvenile book and find in it live people—characters that are neither impossible paragons of goodness nor chimerical examples of success. Such a book is ‘Under Orders.’ Boys who want to know what a reporter’s life is will get a fair idea of it from this very interesting book.”—Buffalo Courier.
“No one can tell a better story, or tell it in a more interesting manner. The book is an excellent one for boys.”—Christian at Work.
