"It is written in the author's best style. Full of the wildest and
most remarkable achievements, it is a tale of great interest, which a
boy, once he has begun it, will not willingly put one side."--The
Schoolmaster.
With Wolfe in Canada; or, The Winning of a Continent. By G. A. Henty.
With illustrations by Gordon Browne. 12mo, cloth, olivine edges, price
$1.00.
"A model of what a boys' story-book should be. Mr. Henty has a great
power of infusing into the dead facts of history new life, and as no
pains are spared by him to ensure accuracy in historic details, his
books supply useful aids to study as well as amusement."--School
Guardian.

A. Henty. With illustrations by Gordon Browne. 12mo, cloth, olivine
edges, price $1.00.
"Does justice to the pluck and determination of the British soldiers
during the unfortunate struggle against American emancipation. The son
of an American loyalist, who remains true to our flag, falls among the
hostile red-skins in that very Huron country which has been endeared
to us by the exploits of Hawkeye and Chingachgook."--The Times.
A Final Reckoning: A Tale of Bush Life in Australia. By G. A. Henty.

"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 honorable, manly, and even heroic character."
--Birmingham Post.

"A praiseworthy attempt to interest British youth in the great deeds
