a boy when I went through the wonderful adventures herein set down. With the memory of my
boyish feelings strong upon me, I present my book specially to boys, in the earnest hope that they
may derive valuable information, much pleasure, great profit, and unbounded amusement from its
pages.
One word more. If there is any boy or man who loves to be melancholy and morose, and who cannot
enter with kindly sympathy into the regions of fun, let me seriously advise him to shut my book and
put it away. It is not meant for him.
