Book Description
Excerpt from Percy Wynn or Making a Boy of Him In presenting a second edition of Percy Wynn to the boy and girl readers of America, the author, besides making a number of minor changes, has added two new chapters. The author favors in a particular manner that portion of the thirteenth chapter where Martin Peters recalls to mind the catechism class of the preceding day; and thinks this the finest passage in his book. As he has borrowed the substance of this passage from the writings of Father Spee, S.J., a famous Jesuit, poet, and reformer of the sixteenth century, he feels no qualms of modesty in making this statement. Should Percy Wynn and Tom Playfair find favor with young readers, their further adventures will be set forth very shortly in two supplementary volumes, "Tom Playfair," a tale in which are narrated the early adventures of Tom before meeting with Percy; and "Harry Dee," a tale in which Tom and Percy are conducted through college and ushered into the great world.
