WILLOUGHBY VERNER. _Illustrated by William Rainey, R.I. 12mo. $1.50_ "In ’Boys of the Light Brigade’ Mr. Strang draws upon the resources of the Peninsular War, and succeeds in extracting much freshness from well-worn themes, as Moore’s retreat to Corunna and the heroic defence of Saragossa. The personal interest of the story is kept at a high tension.... It is a book which no boy will be able to put down when once started. The volume is provided with excellent maps and plans of the scenes in which the incidents take place."—_The Standard_. "This author has fairly earned the right to be accepted as the legitimate successor of the late George A. Henty in furnishing entertainment for youth. Like Henty, Strang manages to galvanize the dry bones of history into a close semblance of glorious life.... The present volume contains vivid and spirited descriptions of campaign life in Spain ... with many rare and interesting episodes.... This is good reading for young and old."—_Chicago Post_. "The author describes graphically with truth to history the last fight of the British commander, Sir John Moore. It is a stirring military story in the manner of those written by the late George A. Henty, but really with more authenticity."—_Philadelphia Press_. "An interesting story, with extra good measure in its incidents and character ... and with some pretty little love passages."—_Cleveland Leader_. *By ELBRIDGE S. BROOKS* Historic Boys.
