“This little volume contains many excellent suggestions on the subject of education for democracy, and is worth reading both by teachers and by parents. But it is not always self-consistent, nor does it seem to us well grounded in fundamental principles.”

“Another story of naval adventure by the author of the widely read tale entitled ‘The lost naval papers.’ Plot and war romance abound. The area of activity covered is, as before, purely naval, and, like the former book, this not only includes stories of spies and their detection but also furnishes a true and amusing picture of the British sailor in wartime.” (Outlook) “The hero is a descendant of Grenville of the ‘Revenge,’ and his life is related from boyhood till he enters the naval service and goes through the great war.” (Ath)
“The experienced author makes ‘history repeat itself’ in excellent fashion for the youthful reader.”
