“The Treasury Club” is a unique book, full of useful and valuable
information. Parents will be glad to be able to get such a book as this
to place in the hands of their children.--_Boston Journal._
We welcome most heartily this most recent book by Mr. Drysdale. Should
the subsequent volumes in this series be as entertaining as is this
one, the entire set will be worthy of a high place among young people’s
books.--_The Standard._
The underlying idea of the United States Government Series, of
which this volume is the first, is a most excellent one. It is to
give young readers an idea of the practical workings of the various
departments of the United States Government, imparting special
interest to the descriptions by putting them into story form. This
volume, treating as it does of persons who may be seen to-day in and
around the Treasury Department, and treating of facts gathered on the
ground, is an exceedingly valuable addition to our young people’s
literature. Certainly it is a most useful, instructive, and interesting
volume.--_Boston Transcript._
_IN “WAR OF THE REVOLUTION SERIES.”_
THREE COLONIAL BOYS:
A STORY OF THE TIMES OF ’76.
_By Everett T. Tomlinson, Ph. D._
_12 mo. 368 pp. Cloth, $1.50. Ill._
“Colonial Boys” a story patriotic, exciting, pleasing and helpful,
and instructs without appearing to. The number of really good stories
for young people on the Revolutionary period of American History is
surprisingly small, therefore we welcome this volume. The customs of
our forefathers’ time are admirably portrayed, and strong lessons of
patriotism are taught in “Three Colonial Boys,” and for this reason it
is a book which should be in every library.--_Boston Transcript._

There is no more interesting period of American History as a background
for fiction than the days leading up to the Revolution. Colonial Boys
works in most happily historical scenes and incidents, and follows
three manly boys through numerous exciting episodes.--_Boston Journal._

A healthful and very readable story for young people. It deals with
one of the most interesting periods of American History, and is based
on facts. Pure in tone, it is admirably suited for school libraries
because of its historic teaching.--_The Advance._

Our literature for the young is none too well supplied with books of
interest on their country’s history, so we gladly welcome the “Three
Colonial Boys,” the first of a promised War of the Revolution Series,
dealing with events prior to and during the war. We are impressed by
the wholesome lessons of patriotism inculcated by the three youths. Our
boys need it, and the work is well begun.--_Congregationalist._
