=St. Bartholomew's Eve:= A Tale of the Huguenot Wars. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by H. J. DRAPER. 6_s._
"What would boys do without Mr. Henty? Ever fresh and vigorous, his
books have at once the solidity of history and the charm of romance.
_St. Bartholomew's Eve_ is in his best style, and the interest never
flags. The book is all that could possibly be wished from a boy's point
of view."--_Journal of Education._
=In Freedom's Cause:= A Story of Wallace and Bruce. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
"His tale of the days of Wallace and Bruce is full of stirring action,
and will commend itself to boys."--_Athenæum._
=By Right of Conquest=: or, With Cortez in Mexico. By G. A.
HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY.
6_s._
"_By Right of Conquest_ is the nearest approach to a
perfectly successful historical tale that Mr. Henty has yet
published."--_Academy._
BY G. A. HENTY.
"Mr. Henty is one of the best of story-tellers for young
people."--_Spectator._
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges._
=Beric the Briton:= A Story of the Roman Invasion. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by W. PARKINSON. 6_s._
"We are not aware that anyone has given us quite so vigorous a picture
of Britain in the days of the Roman conquest. Mr. Henty has done his
utmost to make an impressive picture of the haughty Roman character,
with its indomitable courage, sternness, and discipline. _Beric_ is
good all through."--_Spectator._
=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. 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._
[Illustration: _Reduced Illustration from "At Agincourt"._]
=Wulf the Saxon:= A Story of the Norman Conquest. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by RALPH PEACOCK. 6_s._
"_Wulf the Saxon_ is second to none of Mr. Henty's historical tales,
and we may safely say that a boy may learn from it more genuine
history than he will from many a tedious tome. The points of the Saxon
character are hit off very happily, and the life of the period is ably
reconstructed."--_The Spectator._
=Through the Sikh War:= A Tale of the Conquest of the Punjaub.
By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by HAL
HURST, and a Map. 6_s._
"The picture of the Punjaub during its last few years of independence,
the description of the battles on the Sutlej, and the portraiture
generally of native character, seem admirably true.... On the whole,
we have never read a more vivid and faithful narrative of military
adventure in India."--_The Academy._
BY G. A. HENTY.
