"The story is a capital one and full of variety, and presents us
with many picturesque scenes of Southern life. Young Wingfield,
who is conscientious, spirited, and 'hard as nails,' would have
been a man after the very heart of Stonewall
Jackson."--_Times._
By Pike and Dyke: A Tale of the Rise of the Dutch Republic. By G. A.
HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by MAYNARD BROWN, and 4 Maps. Crown
8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"The mission of Ned to deliver letters from William the Silent to
his adherents at Brussels, the fight of the _Good Venture_
with the Spanish man-of-war, the battle on the ice at Amsterdam,
the siege of Haarlem, are all told with a vividness and skill,
which are worthy of Mr. Henty at his best."--_Academy._
With Clive in India: Or, The Beginnings of an Empire. By G. A. HENTY.
With 12 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 6_s._
"Among writers of stories of adventure for boys Mr. Henty stands
in the very first rank. 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._
The Lion of St. Mark: A Tale of Venice in the Fourteenth Century. By
G. A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo,
cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"Every boy should read _The Lion of St. Mark._ Mr. Henty has
never produced any story more delightful, more wholesome, or more
vivacious. From first to last it will be read with keen
enjoyment."--_The Saturday Review._
Under Drake's Flag: A Tale of the Spanish Main. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated by 12 page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth
elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"There is not a dull chapter, nor, indeed, a dull page in the
book; but the author has so carefully worked up his subject that
the exciting deeds of his heroes are never incongruous or
absurd."--_Observer._
Bonnie Prince Charlie: A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By G. A.
HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth
elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"Ronald, the hero, is very like the hero of _Quentin Durward._ The
lad's journey across France with his faithful attendant Malcolm,
and his hairbreadth escapes from the machinations of his father's
enemies, make up as good a narrative of the kind as we have ever
read. For freshness of treatment and variety of incident, Mr.
Henty has here surpassed himself."--_Spectator._
