"Not only a rousing story, replete with all the varied forms of
excitement of a campaign, but, what is still more useful, an
account of a territory and its inhabitants which must for a long
time possess a supreme interest for Englishmen, as being the key
to our Indian Empire."--_Glasgow Herald._

HENTY. With 8 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth

best."--_Saturday Review._

"A story that may justly be styled remarkable. Boys, in reading
it, will be surprised to find how Alfred persevered, through years
of bloodshed and times of peace, to rescue his people from the

in all our schools."--_Schoolmaster._

realistic; and, as in all Mr. Henty's books, the tendency is to
the formation of an honourable, manly, and even heroic
character."--_Birmingham Post._
