Out and About: a Boy's Adventures, Written for Adventurous Boys/Google Books

To help and teach, to amuse, and to silently instill love and faith, boldness of heart, trust, and honesty in such boys, then—to do some little good to every reader—is the aim of this book. Each incident described is true; exaggeration and straining for effect have been kept quite out of our pages, and the dearest wish of the author is that the book may serve the purpose it was written for.
