Northern Lands, the second volume of the second series of "Young America Abroad," describes the varied experience of the juvenile tourists of the Academy Squadron in the Baltic, and during their journeys in Russia and Prussia, and their voyages between the different ports in these countries. Compared with most other countries of Europe, but little has been written about Russia and the greater portion of this volume related to that interesting nation. The author writes from his own notes and recollection, so far as scenery, manners, and customs are concerned, but he has made diligent study and use of all the material within his reach, including much that was gathered abroad. Perhaps the young people will vote that this is the dryest book the author has ever presented to them because it contains the most useful information; but he hopes they will not neglect the historical part, which is sometimes stranger than any fiction.
