“Mr. Henty never loses sight of the moral purpose of his work--to
enforce the doctrine of courage and truth, mercy and lovingkindness,
as indispensable to the making of an English gentleman. British lads
will read _The Bravest of the Brave_ with pleasure and profit; of that
we are quite sure.”--_Daily Telegraph._
=For Name and Fame=: or, Through Afghan Passes. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._
“Not only a rousing story, replete with all the varied forms of
excitement of a campaign, but, what is still more useful, an account
of a territory and its inhabitants which must for a long time possess
a supreme interest for Englishmen, as being the key to our Indian
Empire.”--_Glasgow Herald._
=A Jacobite Exile=: Being the Adventures of a Young Englishman in
the Service of Charles XII. of Sweden. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 page
Illustrations by PAUL HARDY, and a Map. 5_s._
“Incident succeeds incident, and adventure is piled upon adventure,
and at the end the reader, be he boy or man, will have experienced
breathless enjoyment in a romantic story that must have taught him
much at its close.”--_Army and Navy Gazette._
=Held Fast for England=: A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._
“Among them we would place first in interest and wholesome educational
value the story of the siege of Gibraltar.... There is no cessation of
exciting incident throughout the story.”--_Athenæum._
“Mr. Henty’s books are always alive with moving incident.”--_Review of
Reviews._
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant._
=Condemned as a Nihilist=: A Story of Escape from Siberia. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by WALTER PAGET. 5_s._
“The best of this year’s Henty. His narrative is more interesting than
many of the tales with which the public is familiar, of escape from
Siberia. Despite their superior claim to authenticity these tales are
without doubt no less fictitious than Mr. Henty’s, and he beats them
hollow in the matter of sensations.”--_National Observer._
=Orange and Green=: A Tale of the Boyne and Limerick. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._
“The narrative is free from the vice of prejudice, and ripples with
life as vivacious as if what is being described were really passing
before the eye.... Should be in the hands of every young student of
Irish history.”--_Belfast News._
=In the Reign of Terror=: The Adventures of a Westminster Boy. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by J. SCHÖNBERG. 5_s._
“Harry Sandwith, the Westminster boy, may fairly be said to beat Mr.
Henty’s record. His adventures will delight boys by the audacity and
peril they depict. The story is one of Mr. Henty’s best.”--_Saturday
Review._
=By Sheer Pluck=: A Tale of the Ashanti War. By G. A. HENTY. With 8
full-page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._
“Morally, the book is everything that could be desired, setting
before the boys a bright and bracing ideal of the English
gentleman.”--_Christian Leader._
