=Through Russian Snows=: A Story of Napoleon’s Retreat from Moscow. By
G. A. HENTY. With 8 Illustrations by W. H. OVEREND, and a Map. 5_s._
“Julian, the hero of the story, early excites our admiration, and is
altogether a fine character such as boys will delight in, whilst the
story of the campaign is very graphically told.... Will, we think,
prove one of the most popular boys’ books this season.”--_St. James’s
Gazette._
=In the Heart of the Rockies=: A Story of Adventure in Colorado. By G.
A. HENTY. Illustrated by G. C. HINDLEY. 5_s._

than _In the Heart of the Rockies_.”--_Athenæum._

fiction.”--_Academy._
=One of the 28th=: A Tale of Waterloo. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 page
Illustrations by W. H. OVEREND, and 2 Maps. 5_s._
“Written with Homeric vigour and heroic inspiration. It is graphic,
picturesque, and dramatically effective ... shows us Mr. Henty at his
best and brightest. The adventures will hold a boy of a winter’s night
enthralled as he rushes through them with breathless interest ‘from
cover to cover’.”--_Observer._
=Facing Death=: or, The Hero of the Vaughan Pit. A Tale of the Coal
Mines. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._

Illustrated by J. R. WEGUELIN. 5_s._

cat to the perilous exodus into Asia with which it closes, is very
skilfully constructed and full of exciting adventures. It is admirably
illustrated.”--_Saturday Review._

and interesting conversation, and of vivid pictures of colonial
life.”--_Schoolmaster._
=St. George for England=: A Tale of Cressy and Poitiers. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._
“A story of very great interest for boys. In his own forcible style
the author has endeavoured to show that determination and enthusiasm
can accomplish marvellous results; and that courage is generally
accompanied by magnanimity and gentleness.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._
