Excerpt from Yankee Schoolboys Abroad: Or, the New England Bicycle Club in Scotland, England, and Paris, July September, 1892 Books of travel and adventure of every description have been so multiplied that this unpretentious little volume cannot, perhaps, claim the charm of novelty, nor, indeed, of interest, for any but the immediate friends of the writers. Unlike the Zigzag and Boy Travellers series, however, it represents actual experiences of twelve school and college lads, who, with two teachers, made a bicycle tour through Scotland and England. On their return, the first eight of the following articles were read by their writers before schoolmates in the Brookline High School. With additions from other mem bers of the party, these are now printed as a souvenir of a pleasant summer's outing. It is believed that any lack of unity that may be apparent is more than balanced by the freshness and variety of the articles, for each boy has told his story in his own way, dwelling upon whatever interested him most.
