"No more interesting boys' books are written than Mr. Henty's
stories."--_Daily Chronicle._
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges._
=With Lee in Virginia:= A Story of the American Civil War. By
G. A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by GORDON
BROWNE, and 6 Maps. 6_s._
"The story is a capital one and full of variety, and presents us with
many picturesque scenes of Southern life. Young Wingfield, who is
conscientious, spirited, and 'hard as nails', would have been a man
after the very heart of Stonewall Jackson."--_Times._
=Under Drake's Flag:= A Tale of the Spanish Main. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
"There is not a dull chapter, nor, indeed, a dull page in the book; but
the author has so carefully worked up his subject that the exciting
deeds of his heroes are never incongruous or absurd."--_Observer._
=On the Irrawaddy:= A Story of the first Burmese War. With 8
Illustrations by W. H. OVEREND. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 5_s._
"Stanley Brook's pluck is even greater than his luck, and he is
precisely the boy to hearten with emulation the boys who read his
stirring story."--_Saturday Review._
=Through Russian Snows:= A Story of Napoleon's Retreat from
Moscow. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 Illustrations by W. H.
OVEREND, and a Map. 5_s._
"Julian, the hero of the story, early excites our admiration, and is
altogether a fine character such as boys will delight in, whilst the
story of the campaign is very graphically told.... Will, we think,
prove one of the most popular boys' books this season."--_St. James's
Gazette._
=In the Heart of the Rockies:= A Story of Adventure in Colorado.
By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by G. C. HINDLEY.
5_s._
"Few Christmas books will be more to the taste of the ingenuous boy
than _In the Heart of the Rockies_."--_Athenæum._
"Mr. Henty is seen here at his best as an artist in lightning
fiction."--_Academy._
=One of the 28th:= A Tale of Waterloo. By G. A. HENTY.
With 8 page Illustrations by W. H. OVEREND, and 2 Maps.
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._
=Facing Death:= or, The Hero of the Vaughan Pit. A Tale of the
Coal Mines. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 page Pictures by
GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._
"If any father, godfather, clergyman, or schoolmaster is on the
look-out for a good book to give as a present to a boy who is worth his
salt, this is the book we would recommend."--_Standard._
BY G. A. HENTY.
"Ask for Henty, and see that you get him."--_Punch._
_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges._
