-- Under Wellington's Command: A Tale of the Peninsular War. With 12
page Illustrations by WAL PAGET. 6s.
In this stirring romance Mr. Henty gives us the further
adventures of Terence O'Connor, the hero of _With Moore at
Corunna_. We are told how, in alliance with a small force of
Spanish guerrillas, the gallant regiment of Portuguese levies
commanded by Terence keeps the whole of the French army in check
at a critical period of the war, rendering invaluable service to
the Iron Duke and his handful of British troops.
"An admirable exposition of Mr. Henty's masterly method of
combining instruction with amusement."--_World._
-- To Herat and Cabul: A Story of the First Afghan War. With 8 full-page
Illustrations by C. M. SHELDON, and Map. 5s.
The hero takes a distinguished part in the defence of Herat, and
subsequently obtains invaluable information for the British army
during the first Afghan war. He is fortunately spared the
horrors of the retreat from Cabul, and shares in the series of
operations by which that most disastrous blunder was retrieved.
"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._

-- Redskin and Cow-Boy: A Tale of the Western Plains. With 12 page
Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. 6s.
Hugh Tunstall accompanies a frontiersman on a hunting expedition
on the Plains, and then seeks employment as a cow-boy on a
cattle ranch. 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.
