"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._
=Bonnie Prince Charlie:= A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By
G. A. HENTY. Illustrated with 12 page Pictures by
GORDON BROWNE. 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._
=For the Temple:= A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem. By G. A.
HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by S. J. SOLOMON,
and a Coloured Map. 6_s._
"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._
=True to the Old Flag:= A Tale of the American War of
Independence. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations
by GORDON BROWNE. 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._
"Mr. Henty undoubtedly possesses the secret of writing eminently
successful historical tales; and those older than the lads whom
the author addresses in his preface may read the story with
pleasure."--_Academy._
_Specimen Illustration from_
"_WITH COCHRANE THE DAUNTLESS_".
[Illustration: STEPHEN BEATS OFF THE GREAT WAR-CANOE SINGLE-HANDED.]
BY G. A. HENTY.
"Mr. Henty is one of our most successful writers of historical
tales."--_Scotsman._
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges._
=The Lion of the North:= A Tale of Gustavus Adolphus and the Wars
of Religion. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Pictures by
J. SCHÖNBERG. 6_s._
"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."--_Athenæum._
=The Young Carthaginian:= A Story of the Times of Hannibal. By
G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by C. J.
STANILAND, R.I. 6_s._
