“Every boy should read _The Lion of St. Mark_. Mr. Henty has never
produced any story more delightful, more wholesome, or more vivacious.
From first to last it will be read with keen enjoyment.”--_Saturday
Review._
=By England’s Aid=: The Freeing of the Netherlands (1585-1604). By G.
A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE, and 4 Maps. 6_s._
“The story is told with great animation, and the historical material
is most effectively combined with a most excellent plot.”--_Saturday
Review._
=With Wolf in Canada=: or, The Winning of a Continent. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated with 12 page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
“A model of what a boys’ story-book should be. Mr. Henty has a great
power of infusing into the dead facts of history new life, and as no
pains are spared by him to ensure accuracy in historic details, his
books supply useful aids to study as well as amusement.”--_School
Guardian._
=Bonnie Prince Charlie=: A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated with 12 page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
“As good a narrative of the kind as we have ever read. For freshness
of treatment and variety of incident, Mr. Henty has here surpassed
himself.”--_Spectator._
=For the Temple=: A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem. By G. A. HENTY. With
10 page Illustrations by S. J. SOLOMON, and a Coloured Map. 6_s._
“Mr. Henty’s graphic prose pictures of the hopeless Jewish
resistance to Roman sway adds another leaf to his record of the
famous wars of the world. The book is one of Mr. Henty’s cleverest
efforts.”--_Graphic._
=True to the Old Flag=: A Tale of the American War of Independence. By
G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
“Does justice to the pluck and determination of the British soldiers.
The son of an American loyalist, who remains true to our flag, falls
among the hostile redskins in that very Huron country which has been
endeared to us by the exploits of Hawkeye and Chingachgook.”--_The
Times._
[Illustration: TERENCE FINDS THAT THE _SEA-HORSE_ HAS BEEN BADLY MAULED
BETWEEN-DECKS.]
“Among writers of stories of adventure Mr. Henty stands in the very
first rank.”--_Academy._
=The Young Carthaginian=: A Story of the Times of Hannibal. By G. A.
HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND, R.I. 6_s._
“From first to last nothing stays the interest of the narrative. It
bears us along as on a stream whose current varies in direction, but
never loses its force.”--_Saturday Review._
=Redskin and Cow-boy=: A Tale of the Western Plains. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated by ALFRED PEARSE. 6_s._
“It has a good plot; it abounds in action; the scenes are equally
spirited and realistic. The pictures of life on a cattle ranche are
most graphically painted, as are the manners of the reckless but
jovial cow-boys.”--_Times._
=The Lion of the North=: A Tale of Gustavus Adolphus. By G. A. HENTY.
With 12 page Pictures by J. SCHÖNBERG. 6_s._
