"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 THE SUCCESSOR TO HENTY_ *KOBO* *A Story of the Russo-Japanese War* *By HERBERT STRANG* Author of "The Light Brigade in Spain," etc. _Illustrated by William Rainey, R.I. 12mo, $1.50_ "It is a dashing romance for boys, founded on the Russo-Japanese War and worthy of the late Mr. Henty at his best. A story that every schoolboy will enjoy and one that will be read with much pleasure and profit by many older readers as well."—_Cleveland Leader_. "The story throughout bristles with adventures, it is well written and the author shows intimate knowledge of Japanese character and customs."—_San Francisco Bulletin_. "In one respect Mr. Strang’s tale is even better than many of the late G. A. Henty’s. It has more dash and dialogue. These are strong points in the work of this writer, who is destined to fill the place vacated by the lamented author of ’Under Drake’s Flag,’ and ’With Clive in India.’"—_The Dundee Advertiser_. "For vibrant actuality there is nothing to come up to Mr. Strang’s ’Kobo.’"—_The Academy_. "A great amount of actual military history is incorporated with an exciting and romantic plot."—_The Westminster Gazette_. * * * * * * * * *By ELBRIDGE S. BROOKS* Historic Boys.
