=The Dragon and the Raven=: or, The Days of King Alfred. By G. A.
HENTY. With 8 page Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND, R.I. 5_s._
“A story that may justly be styled remarkable. Boys, in reading it,
will be surprised to find how Alfred persevered, through years of
bloodshed and times of peace, to rescue his people from the thraldom
of the Danes. We hope the book will soon be widely known in all our
schools.”--_Schoolmaster._
=A Final Reckoning=: A Tale of Bush Life in Australia. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated by W. B. WOLLEN. 5_s._
“All boys will read this story with eager and unflagging interest.
The episodes are in Mr. Henty’s very best vein--graphic, exciting,
realistic; and, as in all Mr. Henty’s books, the tendency is
to the formation of an honourable, manly, and even heroic
character.”--_Birmingham Post._
=The Young Colonists=: A Tale of the Zulu and Boer Wars. By G. A.
HENTY. With 6 Illustrations by SIMON H. VEDDER. 3_s._ 6_d._
“Fiction and history are so happily blended that the record of
facts quicken the imagination. No boy can read this book without
learning a great deal of South African history at its most critical
period.”--_Standard._
=A Chapter of Adventures=: or, Through the Bombardment of Alexandria.
By G. A. HENTY. With 6 page Illustrations by W. H. OVEREND. 3_s._ 6_d._
“Jack Robson and his two companions have their fill of excitement, and
their chapter of adventures is so brisk and entertaining we could have
wished it longer than it is.”--_Saturday Review._
BY PROFESSOR A. J. CHURCH.
“That prince of winning story-tellers, and master of musical
English.”--_Expository Times._
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges._
=Lords of the World=: A Tale of the Fall of Carthage and Corinth. By A.
J. CHURCH. With 12 page Illustrations by RALPH PEACOCK. 6_s._
“Mr. Church’s mastery of his subject and his literary skill are
sufficiently complete to carry his adult readers with him. Some of
the scenes are highly picturesque, and there is many an exciting
adventure that sustains the reader’s curiosity in the fortunes of the
hero, Cleanor. As a boys’ book, _Lords of the World_ deserves a hearty
welcome.”--_Spectator._
[Illustration: _Reduced Illustration from “Lords of the World”._]
=Two Thousand Years Ago=: or, The Adventures of a Roman Boy. By
Professor A. J. CHURCH. With 12 page Illustrations by ADRIEN MARIE.
6_s._
“Adventures well worth the telling. The book is extremely entertaining
as well as useful, and there is a wonderful freshness in the Roman
scenes and characters.”--_The Times._
BY HERBERT HAYENS.
=Paris at Bay=: A Story of the Siege and the Commune. By HERBERT
HAYENS. With 8 page Illustrations by STANLEY L. WOOD. 5_s._
