“This tale we specially recommend; for the career of Lord Cochrane and
his many valiant fights in the cause of liberty deserve to be better
known than they are.”--_St. James’s Gazette._
“Mr. Henty is one of the best of story-tellers for young
people.”--_Spectator._
=Beric the Briton=: A Story of the Roman Invasion. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated by W. PARKINSON. 6_s._
“Mr. Henty has done his utmost to make an impressive picture of the
haughty Roman character, with its indomitable courage, sternness, and
discipline. _Beric_ is good all through.”--_Spectator._

best.”--_Academy._
=Wulf the Saxon=: A Story of the Norman Conquest. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated by RALPH PEACOCK. 6_s._
“_Wulf the Saxon_ is second to none of Mr. Henty’s historical tales,
and we may safely say that a boy may learn from it more genuine
history than he will from many a tedious tome.”--_The Spectator._
=Through the Sikh War=: A Tale of the Conquest of the Punjaub. By G. A.
HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by HAL HURST, and a Map. 6_s._

=Under Drake’s Flag=: A Tale of the Spanish Main. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
“There is not a dull chapter, nor, indeed, a dull page in the book;
the author has so carefully worked up his subject that the exciting
deeds of his heroes are never incongruous or absurd.”--_Observer._
“G. A. Henty more than holds his own as the prince of story-tellers
for boys.”--_St. James’s Gazette._
=A March on London=: Being a Story of Wat Tyler’s Insurrection. By G.
A. HENTY. With 8 page Illustrations by W. H. MARGETSON. 5_s._
“Mr. Henty, true as ever, tells a capital story, and keeps up to
the high standard of interest which we have learnt to expect from
him.”--_Spectator._
“The story of Wat Tyler’s ever-famous insurrection is set forth with a
degree of cunning and an eye for effect that may always be looked for
in the work that comes from this practised hand. Mr. Henty deals with
troublesome times and with characters that have left their mark on the
pages of history. He is fresh, virile, and never dull, and this volume
must needs add to his reputation.”--_Daily Telegraph._
=On the Irrawaddy=: A Story of the first Burmese War. With 8
Illustrations by W. H. OVEREND. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine
edges, 5_s._
“Altogether this is a capital story, and the descriptions of the
Burmese cities are very good.”--_The Times._
“Stanley Brook’s pluck is even greater than his luck, and he is
precisely the boy to hearten with emulation the boys who read his
stirring story.”--_Saturday Review._
