BLACKIE & SON’S BOOKS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
BY G. A. HENTY.
“Mr. Henty’s stores of literary vivacity are inexhaustible, and boys
will find their old favourite as full of instruction and of excitement
as ever.”--_The Times._
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges._
=With Frederick the Great=: A Tale of the Seven Years’ War. By G. A.
HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by WAL PAGET, and Maps. 6_s._
“The story is one of Mr. Henty’s best, and so cleverly is history
interwoven with fiction that the boy who reads it will know as much
about the _Seven Years’ War_ as many an adult student of Carlyle’s
masterpiece.”--_Standard._
=With Moore at Corunna=: A Tale of the Peninsular War. By G. A. HENTY.
With 12 page Illustrations by WAL PAGET. 6_s._
“A very spirited story, well worthy to be ranked with the best of
Mr. Henty’s work. Terence O’Connor, up to the time of the opening of
the tale, has done little but get into mischief, but as soon as he
feels the responsibility of being one of Mr. Henty’s heroes, combines
discretion with courage, not forgetting, however, to spice the mixture
with a little fun.”--_Spectator._
=The Tiger of Mysore=: A Story of the War with Tippoo Saib. By G. A.
HENTY. With 12 Illustrations by W. H. MARGETSON, and a Map. 6_s._
“Mr. Henty not only concocts a thrilling tale, he weaves fact and
fiction together with so skilful a hand that the reader cannot help
acquiring a just and clear view of that fierce and terrible struggle
which gave to us our Indian Empire.”--_Athenæum._
=A Knight of the White Cross=: A Tale of the Siege of Rhodes. By G. A.
HENTY. With 12 full-page Illustrations by RALPH PEACOCK. 6_s._
“Mr. Henty is a giant among boys’ writers, and his books are
sufficiently popular to be sure of a welcome anywhere.... In stirring
interest, this is quite up to the level of Mr. Henty’s former
historical tales.”--_Saturday Review._
=When London Burned=: A Story of Restoration Times and the Great Fire.
By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by J. FINNEMORE. 6_s._
“No boy needs to have any story of Henty’s recommended to him, and
parents who do not know and buy him for their boys should be ashamed
of themselves. Those to whom he is yet unknown could not make a better
beginning than with _When London Burned_.”--_British Weekly._
“Schoolboys owe a deep debt of gratitude to Mr. Henty.”--_The Record._
=At Agincourt=: A Tale of the White Hoods of Paris. By G. A. HENTY.
With 12 page Illustrations by WAL PAGET. 6_s._
“Mr. Henty’s admirers, and they are many, will accord a hearty welcome
to the sturdy volume entitled At Agincourt.”--_Athenæum._
=The Lion of St. Mark=: A Tale of Venice in the Fourteenth Century. By
G. A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
