Optic, Oliver

Children -- Conduct of life -- Fiction; Conduct of life -- Juvenile fiction; Inheritance and succession -- Juvenile fiction

"This is the latest series of books issued by this
          popular writer, and deals with life on the Great
          Lakes, for which a careful study was made by the
          author in a summer tour of the immense water
          sources of America. The story, which carries the
          same hero through the six books of the series, is
          always entertaining, novel scenes and varied
          incidents giving a constantly changing yet always
          attractive aspect to the narrative. OLIVER OPTIC
          has written nothing better."


=The Yacht Club Series.= By OLIVER OPTIC. In six volumes. Illustrated.
Any volume sold separately. Price per volume, $1.25.

  =1. Little Bobtail=; OR, THE WRECK OF THE PENOBSCOT.
  =2. The Yacht Club=; OR, THE YOUNG BOAT BUILDERS.
  =3. Money-Maker=; OR, THE VICTORY OF THE BASILISK.
  =4. The Coming Wave=; OR, THE TREASURE OF HIGH ROCK.
  =5. The Dorcas Club=; OR, OUR GIRLS AFLOAT.
  =6. Ocean Born=; OR, THE CRUISE OF THE CLUBS.

          "The series has this peculiarity, that all of its
          constituent volumes are independent of one
          another, and therefore each story is complete in
          itself. OLIVER OPTIC is, perhaps, the favorite
          author of the boys and girls of this country, and
          he seems destined to enjoy an endless popularity.
          He deserves his success, for he makes very
          interesting stories, and inculcates none but the
          best sentiments, and the 'Yacht Club' is no
          exception to this rule."--_New Haven Journal and
          Courier._

  =5. Bivouac and Battle=; OR, THE STRUGGLES OF A SOLDIER.
  =6. Sea and Shore=; OR, THE TRAMPS OF A TRAVELLER.

          "Paul Farringford, the hero of these tales, is,
          like most of this author's heroes, a young man of
          high spirit, and of high aims and correct
          principles, appearing in the different volumes as
          a farmer, a captain, a bookkeeper, a soldier, a
          sailor, and a traveller. In all of them the hero
          meets with very exciting adventures, told in the
          graphic style for which the author is famous."
