 “ If, according to a familiar saying, he is {L benefactor of the

race who makes one blade of grass grow where none grew
before, much more is he to be reckoned such who succeeds in
making books at once instructive and entertaining for boys.
Such is the good fortune of Mr. Optic, if we may designate him
by his ‘nom de plume.’ He appears to be the true successor
of Peter Parley, who, in our boyhood‘s days, was the most
interesting character then living.”—XJ;\\' liquAchlL
