Extract from the Preface. In this series of narratives we offer to the readers of the Rollo Books a continuation of the tory of our little hero, by giving them an account of the adventures which such a boy uy be expected to meet with in making a tour of Europe. The books are intended to be oks of instruction rather than of mere amusement; and, in perusing them, the reader may I assured that all the information which they contain, not only in respect to the countries lited, but to the customs, usages, and modes of life that are described, and also in regard the general character of the incidents and adventures that the young travellers meet th, is in most strict accordance with fact. The main design of the narratives is, thus, the mmunication of useful knowledge, and everything which they contain, except what is iculy personal, ia relation to the actors in the story, may be depended upon as exactly scrupulously true.
