The opening of a new series of books from the pen of Oliver Optic isbound to arouse the highest anticipation in the minds of boy and girlreaders. There never has been a more interesting writer in the field ofjuvenile literature than Mr. W. T. Adams, who under his well-knownpseudonym, is known and admired by every boy and girl in the country,and by thousands who have long since passed the boundaries of youth, yetwho remember with pleasure the genial, interesting pen that did so muchto interest, instruct and entertain their younger years. The presentvolume opens "The Blue and the Gray Series," a title that issufficiently indicative of the nature and spirit of the series, of whichthe first volume is now presented, while the name of Oliver Optic issufficient warrant of the absorbing style of narrative. "Taken by theEnemy," the first book of the series, is as bright and entertaining asany work that Mr. Adams has yet put forth, and will be as eagerlyperused as any that has borne his name. It would not be fair to theprospective reader to deprive him of the zest which comes from theunexpected, by entering into a synopsis of the story. A word, however,should be said in regard to the beauty and appropriateness of thebinding, which makes it a most attractive volume.--_Boston Budget._
"Taken by the Enemy" has just come from the press, an announcement thatcannot but appeal to every healthy boy from ten to fifteen years of agein the country. "No writer of the present day," says the Boston_Commonwealth_, "whose aim has been to hit the boyish heart, has been assuccessful as Oliver Optic. There is a period in the life of everyyouth, just about the time that he is collecting postage-stamps, andbefore his legs are long enough for a bicycle, when he has the OliverOptic fever. He catches it by reading a few stray pages somewhere, andthen there is nothing for it but to let the matter take its course.Relief comes only when the last page of the last book is read; and thenthere are relapses whenever a new book appears until one is safely onthrough the teens."--_Literary News._

The story from its inception and through the twelve volumes (see _SecondSeries_), is a bewitching one, while the information imparted,concerning the countries of Europe and the isles of the sea, is not onlycorrect in every particular, but is told in a captivating style. "OliverOptic" will continue to be the boy's friend, and his pleasant books willcontinue to be read by thousands of American boys. What a fine holidaypresent either or both series of "Young America Abroad" would be for ayoung friend! It would make a little library highly prized by therecipient, and would not be an expensive one.--_Providence Press._
