From the Preface: Strange Sights Abroad is the fourth volume of the All-Over-the-World series; and while it contains a completed story, all the incidents and adventures of the hero and his companions being properly disposed of and finished, and all the characters who have figured on the pages of the book having been suitably rewarded, punished, or reformed, the narrative is still a continuation of the adventures of Louis Belgrave and his faithful ally, Felix McGavonty, who distinguish themselves as on former occasions. The Millionaire at Sixteen has entered upon his seventeenth year; but he has not been led away by any temptation, and resolutely maintains his high character in the presence of evildoers as well as of those who sympathize with him in sustaining a high ideal. Though some of his friends on board of the Guardian-Mother persist in calling him Sir Louis, and in regarding him as a sort of knight-errant, it will be observed that he never plunges into any adventure for its own sake, or for the mere excitement of the affair. A great read for young men from the American Boys series.

This book is the second volume of "The Blue and the Gray Series." Like its predecessor, of course, its scenes are connected with the war of the Rebellion; and perhaps the writer ought to be thankful that he is not required in such a work to rise to the dignity of history, but he believes that all his events were possible, and that every one of them has had its parallel in the actual occurrences of the historic period of which he writes. In fact, some of the experiences of the actors in the terrible drama of a quarter of a century ago would pass more readily for fiction than for reality, and detailed on the pages of a story would be deemed impossible by the conservative reader. This book is a Historical Fiction, very nicely penned by the author. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
