Illustrations by W. H. OVEREND, and 2 Maps. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 5_s._
"Written with Homeric vigour and heroic inspiration. It is
graphic, picturesque, and dramatically effective ... shows us Mr.
Henty at his best and brightest. The adventures will hold a boy of
a winter's night enthralled as he rushes through them with
breathless interest 'from cover to cover.'"--_Observer._
The Cat Of Bubastes: A Story of Ancient Egypt. By G. A. HENTY. With 8
page Illustrations by J. R. WEGUELIN. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 5_s._
"The story, from the critical moment of the killing of the sacred
cat to the perilous exodus into Asia with which it closes, is very
skilfully constructed and full of exciting adventures. It is
admirably illustrated."--_Saturday Review._
Maori and Settler: A Story of the New Zealand War. By G. A. HENTY.

"Mr. Henty's historical novels for boys bid fair to supplement, on
their behalf, the historical labours of Sir Walter Scott in the
land of fiction."--_Standard._
"A story of very great interest for boys. In his own forcible
style the author has endeavoured to show that determination and
enthusiasm can accomplish marvellous results; and that courage is
generally accompanied by magnanimity and gentleness."--_Pall
Mall Gazette._
The Bravest of the Brave: With Peterborough in Spain. By G. A. HENTY.
With 8 full-page Pictures by H. M. PAGET. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 5_s._
"Mr. Henty never loses sight of the moral purpose of his work--to
enforce the doctrine of courage and truth, mercy and loving
kindness, as indispensable to the making of an English gentleman.
British lads will read _The Bravest of the Brave_ with
pleasure and profit; of that we are quite sure."--_Daily
Telegraph._
For Name and Fame: Or, Through Afghan Passes. By G. A. HENTY. With 8
full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 5_s._
"The best feature of the book, apart from its scenes of adventure,
is its honest effort to do justice to the patriotism of the Afghan
people."--_Daily News._
