The wanderers are Mr.. Merry, and two
young companions called Ike and Ivy. They
start from Boston and go to New York,

travel through the principal cities of France,
visiting all the objects of curiosity and inter-

the wonders Of London, and the glorious
scenery OF the Scottish Highlands, claim their
attention and win their admiration. They
then pass through Ireland, and finally bring
up in their dear native home.
Their account of these travels is perfectly re-
liable, as a guide book, and extremely inter-
esting, as record OF adventures. The beau
tiful illustrations and elegant binding, make
it handsome book for a Christmas present.
