II.—Prince Dusty. A Story of the Oil Regions.
“This is the prince of writers for boys. He always has something fresh and interesting to tell them, and reaches their hearts every time. His books are full of adventure, yet free from exaggeration and sensationalism.”
III.—Cab and Caboose. A Story of Railroad Life.
“From the time Rod Blake wins the bicycle race and becomes the proud possessor of the Railroad Cup, all through the narrative, with its thrilling adventures and escapes from wreck, fire, robbers, tramps, and, worse than all, from an attempt to fasten a crime upon him, the boy readers (and surely girls too) will not find a dull page.”
IV.—The Coral Ship. A Story of the Florida Reef.
“No one need have any hesitancy in regard to buying a book by Mr. Kirk Munroe, who has been justly styled ‘the prince of writers of books for boys,’ for he has the happiest possible faculty of being able to interest young people. He knows what they like to be told, and his books have a decided charm. The adventures narrated, while exciting, are real, and are not calculated to produce any unhealthy effect upon their readers.”
