“Mr. Hope is one of the best of living writers of boys’ books, and
we do not think we over-estimate the merits of the book before us if
we say it is one of his best. The idea is a happy one.... The result
is altogether as successful as the idea is happy.”—_Birmingham Daily
Post._
“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._

these stories with much dramatic power and effect, and has produced
a book which will delight all healthy-minded lads.”—_Scotsman._
“Stories of all sorts of boys, who in different countries and
circumstances, in peace or in war, at school or at work, at home or
out in the world, by land or by sea, have gone through experiences
worth relating.... The work is just such a volume as we would
like to see in the hands of our schoolboys, and of those who are
emerging into the busy haunts of business and anxiety.”—_Yorkshire
Gazette._
