"The best of this year's Henty. His narrative is more interesting than
many of the tales with which the public is familiar, of escape from
Siberia. Despite their superior claim to authenticity these tales are
without doubt no less fictitious than Mr. Henty's, and he beats them
hollow in the matter of sensations."--_National Observer._
=Orange and Green:= A Tale of the Boyne and Limerick. By G. A.
HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._
"The narrative is free from the vice of prejudice, and ripples with
life as vivacious as if what is being described were really passing
before the eye.... Should be in the hands of every young student of
Irish history."--_Belfast News._
=In the Reign of Terror:= The Adventures of a Westminster Boy. By
G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by J. SCHÖNBERG. 5_s._
"Harry Sandwith, the Westminster boy, may fairly be said to beat Mr.
Henty's record. His adventures will delight boys by the audacity and
peril they depict. The story is one of Mr. Henty's best."--_Saturday
Review._
=By Sheer Pluck:= A Tale of the Ashanti War. By G. A.
HENTY. With 8 full-page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE.
5_s._
"Morally, the book is everything that could be desired, setting
before the boys a bright and bracing ideal of the English
gentleman."--_Christian Leader._
=The Dragon and the Raven:= or, The Days of King Alfred. By G.
A. HENTY. With 8 page Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND,
R.I. 5_s._
"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 thraldom
of the Danes. We hope the book will soon be widely known in all our
schools."--_Schoolmaster._
=A Final Reckoning:= A Tale of Bush Life in Australia. By G.
A. HENTY. Illustrated by W. B. WOLLEN. 5_s._
"All boys will read this story with eager and unflagging interest.
The episodes are in Mr. Henty's very best vein--graphic, exciting,
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._
=The Young Colonists:= A Tale of the Zulu and Boer Wars. By G.
A. HENTY. With 6 Illustrations by SIMON H. VEDDER.
3_s._ 6_d._
"Fiction and history are so happily blended that the record of
facts quicken the imagination. No boy can read this book without
learning a great deal of South African history at its most critical
period."--_Standard._
=A Chapter of Adventures=: or, Through the Bombardment of
Alexandria. By G. A. HENTY. With 6 page Illustrations by
W. H. OVEREND. 3_s._ 6_d._
"Jack Robson and his two companions have their fill of excitement, and
their chapter of adventures is so brisk and entertaining we could have
wished it longer than it is."--_Saturday Review._
