"Mr. Henty's graphic prose pictures of the hopeless Jewish
resistance to Roman sway adds another leaf to his record of the
famous wars of the world. The book is one of Mr. Henty's cleverest
efforts."--_Graphic._

G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo,
cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
"Does justice to the pluck and determination of the British
soldiers. The son of an American loyalist, who remains true to our
flag, falls among the hostile redskins in that very Huron country
which has been endeared to us by the exploits of Hawkeye and
Chingachgook."--_The Times._

"A praiseworthy attempt to interest British youth in the great
deeds of the Scotch Brigade in the wars of Gustavus Adolphus.
Mackay, Hepburn, and Munro live again in Mr. Henty's pages, as
those deserve to live whose disciplined bands formed really the
germ of the modern British army."--_Athenaeum._

"The effect of an interesting story, well constructed and vividly
told, is enhanced by the picturesque quality of the scenic
background. From first to last nothing stays the interest of the
narrative. It bears us along as on a stream, whose current varies
in direction, but never loses its force."--_Saturday Review._

With 12 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 6_s._
"A model of what a boys' story-book should be. Mr. Henty has a
great power of infusing into the dead facts of history new life,
and as no pains are spared by him to ensure accuracy in historic
details, his books supply useful aids to study as well as
amusement."--_School Guardian._
