"Surely Mr. Henty should understand boys' tastes better than any man living."--_The Times._ THE LION OF THE NORTH: A Tale of Gustavus Adolphus and the Wars of Religion. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 full-page Illustrations by JOHN SCHÖNBERG, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6s. In this story Mr. Henty gives the history of the first part of the Thirty Years' War, a struggle unprecedented in length, in the fury with which it was carried on, and in the terrible destruction and ruin which it caused. The issue had its importance, which has extended to the present day, as it established religious freedom in Germany. The army of the chivalrous King of Sweden, the prop and maintenance of the Protestant cause, was largely composed of Scotchmen, and among these was the hero of the story. In such a time of war and turmoil there was an opportunity for unlimited adventure. But the chief interest of the tale turns on the great struggle between Gustavus and his chief opponents Wallenstein, Tilly, and Pappenheim. The story terminates shortly after the murder of Wallenstein. WITH CLIVE IN INDIA: Or the Beginnings of an Empire. By G. A. HENTY, author of "Facing Death," "Under Drake's Flag," "By Sheer Pluck," &c. With 12 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s_. The period between the landing of Clive as a young writer in India and the close of his career was critical and eventful in the extreme. At its commencement the English were traders existing on sufferance of the native princes. At its close they were masters of Bengal and of the greater part of Southern India. The author has given a full and accurate account of the historical events of that stirring time, and battles and sieges follow each other in rapid succession, while he combines with his narrative a tale of daring and adventure which gives a lifelike interest to the volume. "In this book Mr. Henty has contrived to exceed himself in stirring adventures and thrilling situations, while the realities are preserved. The pictures are by Mr. Gordon Browne, who may be congratulated on their success in adding to the interest of the book."--_Saturday Review._ "Among writers of stories of adventure for boys Mr. Henty stands in the very first rank, and Mr. Gordon Browne occupies a similar place with his pencil.... Those who know something about India will be the most ready to thank Mr. Henty for giving them this instructive volume to place in the hands of their children."--_Academy._ "He has taken a period of Indian History of the most vital importance, and he has shown by what means the work was accomplished. He has embroidered on the historical facts a story which of itself is deeply interesting. Young people assuredly will be delighted with the volume as a whole."--_Scotsman._ BY G. A. HENTY.
