In Greek Waters: A Story of the Grecian War of Independence (1821-1827).
By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY, and a Map.
Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, Olivine edges, 6_s._
"There are adventures of all kinds for the hero and his friends,
whose pluck and ingenuity in extricating themselves from awkward
fixes are always equal to the occasion. It is an excellent story,
and if the proportion of history is smaller than usual, the whole
result leaves nothing to be desired."--_Journal of
Education._
Redskin and Cow-boy: A Tale of the Western Plains. By G. A. HENTY.
With 12 page Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 6_s._
"It has a good plot; it abounds in action; the scenes are equally
spirited and realistic, and we can only say we have read it with
much pleasure from first to last. The pictures of life on a cattle
ranche are most graphically painted, as are the manners of the
reckless but jovial cow-boys."--_Times._
The Dash for Khartoum: A Tale of the Nile Expedition. By G. A. HENTY.
With 10 page Illustrations by J. SCHOeNBERG and J. NASH, and 4 Plans.
Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"The Dash for Khartoum is your ideal boys' book."--_Tablet._
"It is literally true that the narrative never flags a moment; for
the incidents which fall to be recorded after the dash for
Khartoum has been made and failed are quite as interesting as
those which precede it."--_Academy._
By England's Aid: The Freeing of the Netherlands (1585-1604). By G. A.
HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE, and 4 Maps. Crown
8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"Boys know and love Mr. Henty's books of adventure, and will
welcome his tale of the Freeing of the Netherlands."--_Athenaeum._
"The story is told with great animation, and the historical
material is most effectively combined with a most excellent
plot."--_Saturday Review._
By Right Of Conquest: Or, With Cortez in Mexico. By G. A. HENTY. With
10 page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY, and 2 Maps. Crown 8vo, cloth
elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"Mr. Henty's skill has never been more convincingly displayed than
in this admirable and ingenious story."--_Saturday Review._
"_By Right of Conquest_ is the nearest approach to a
perfectly successful historical tale that Mr. Henty has yet
published."--_Academy._

living."--_The Times._
