"We can heartily commend it to boys, old and young."--_Spectator_. *With Cochrane the Dauntless:* A Tale of his Exploits. With 12 page Illustrations by W. H. MARGETSON. 6s. It would be hard to find, even in sensational fiction, a more daring leader than Lord Cochrane, or a career which supplies so many thrilling exploits. The manner in which, almost single-handed, he scattered the French fleet in the Basque Roads is one of the greatest feats in English naval history. "As rousing and interesting a book as boys could wish for."--_Saturday Review_. "This tale we specially recommend."--_St. James’s Gazette_. (4) * * * * * *G. A. HENTY* *Redskin and Cow-Boy:* A Tale of the Western Plains With 12 page Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. 6s.

His experiences during a "round up" present in picturesque form the toilsome, exciting, adventurous life of a cow-boy; while the perils of a frontier settlement are vividly set forth. Subsequently, the hero joins a wagon-team, and the interest is sustained in a fight with, and capture of, brigands. "A strong interest of open-air life and movement pervades the whole book."--_Scotsman_. *With Buller in Natal:* or, A Born Leader. With 10 page Illustrations by W. RAINEY, R.I., and a Map. 6s. The heroic story of the relief of Ladysmith forms the theme of one of the most powerful romances that have come from Mr. Henty’s pen.

From first to last the boy scouts are constantly engaged in perilous and exciting enterprises, from which they always emerge triumphant, thanks to their own skill and courage, and the dash and ingenuity of their leader. "Just the sort of book to inspire an enterprising boy."--_Army and Navy Gazette_. *By England’s Aid:* or, The Freeing of the Netherlands (1585-1604).
