This is a decorative edition of Thrilling Tales of Enterprise and Peril, Adventure and Heroism by Dr. Macaulay from 1890! The preface notes: ‘Every year sees the production of a vast crop of stories for young readers. Many of these tales are sensational (in the bad sense of the word); others are sentimental and silly; while few can leave any good impression on the mind. Without admitting that always ‘truth is stranger than fiction’, the editor of the present volume may express his regret that more attention is not given to true tales of travel and adventure, and the romantic events of real history and life.’ Enjoy these wonderful tales with many illustrations!
