=When London Burned:= A Story of Restoration Times and the Great Fire. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by J. FINNEMORE. 6_s._

"No boy needs to have any story of Henty's recommended to him, and parents who do not know and buy him for their boys should be ashamed of themselves. Those to whom he is yet unknown could not make a better beginning than with _When London Burned_."--_British Weekly._

BY G. A. HENTY

"Among writers of stories of adventure for boys Mr. Henty stands in the very first rank."--_Academy._

_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges._

=The Lion of St. Mark:= A Tale of Venice in the Fourteenth Century. By G. A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._

=With Wolfe in Canada:= or, The Winning of a Continent. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated with 12 page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._

"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._

=Bonnie Prince Charlie:= A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated with 12 page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._

"Ronald, the hero, is very like the hero of _Quentin Durward_. The lad's journey across France with his faithful attendant Malcolm, and his hairbreadth escapes from the machinations of his father's enemies make up as good a narrative of the kind as we have ever read. For freshness of treatment and variety of incident, Mr. Henty has here surpassed himself."--_Spectator._

"Mr. Henty undoubtedly possesses the secret of writing eminently successful historical tales; and those older than the lads whom the author addresses in his preface may read the story with pleasure."--_Academy._

=The Lion of the North:= A Tale of Gustavus Adolphus and the Wars of Religion. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Pictures by J. SCHÖNBERG. 6_s._

"A praiseworthy attempt to interest British youth in the great deeds of the Scotch Brigade in the wars of Gustavus Adolphus. Mackay, Hepburn, and Munro live again in Mr. Henty's pages, as those deserve to live whose disciplined bands formed really the germ of the modern British army."--_Athenæum._

=The Young Carthaginian:= A Story of the Times of Hannibal. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND, R.I. 6_s._

"The effect of an interesting story, well constructed and vividly told, is enhanced by the picturesque quality of the scenic background. From first to last nothing stays the interest of the narrative. It bears us along as on a stream whose current varies in direction, but never loses its force."--_Saturday Review._

=Redskin and Cow-boy:= A Tale of the Western Plains. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by ALFRED PEARSE. 6_s._

"It has a good plot; it abounds in action; the scenes are equally spirited and realistic, and we can only say we have read it with much pleasure from first to last. The pictures of life on a cattle ranch are most graphically painted, as are the manners of the reckless but jovial cow-boys."--_Times._

=With Clive in India:= or, The Beginnings of an Empire. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._

"There are adventures of all kinds for the hero and his friends, whose pluck and ingenuity in extricating themselves from awkward fixes are always equal to the occasion. It is an excellent story, and if the proportion of history is smaller than usual, the whole result leaves nothing to be desired."--_Journal of Education._

=The Dash for Khartoum:= A Tale of the Nile Expedition. By G. A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by J. SCHÖNBERG and J. NASH, and 4 Plans. 6_s._

_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges._

=Through the Fray:= A Story of the Luddite Riots. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by H. M. PAGET. 6_s._

=St. Bartholomew's Eve:= A Tale of the Huguenot Wars. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by H. J. DRAPER. 6_s._

"What would boys do without Mr. Henty? Ever fresh and vigorous, his books have at once the solidity of history and the charm of romance. _St. Bartholomew's Eve_ is in his best style, and the interest never flags. The book is all that could possibly be wished from a boy's point of view."--_Journal of Education._

=In Freedom's Cause:= A Story of Wallace and Bruce. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._

"His tale of the days of Wallace and Bruce is full of stirring action, and will commend itself to boys."--_Athenæum._

=Beric the Briton:= A Story of the Roman Invasion. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by W. PARKINSON. 6_s._

"We are not aware that anyone has given us quite so vigorous a picture of Britain in the days of the Roman conquest. Mr. Henty has done his utmost to make an impressive picture of the haughty Roman character, with its indomitable courage, sternness, and discipline. _Beric_ is good all through."--_Spectator._

"The mission of Ned to deliver letters from William the Silent to his adherents at Brussels, the fight of the _Good Venture_ with the Spanish man-of-war, the battle on the ice at Amsterdam, the siege of Haarlem, are all told with a vividness and skill which are worthy of Mr. Henty at his best."--_Academy._

=Wulf the Saxon:= A Story of the Norman Conquest. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by RALPH PEACOCK. 6_s._

"_Wulf the Saxon_ is second to none of Mr. Henty's historical tales, and we may safely say that a boy may learn from it more genuine history than he will from many a tedious tome. The points of the Saxon character are hit off very happily, and the life of the period is ably reconstructed."--_The Spectator._

=Through the Sikh War:= A Tale of the Conquest of the Punjaub. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by HAL HURST, and a Map. 6_s._

"The picture of the Punjaub during its last few years of independence, the description of the battles on the Sutlej, and the portraiture generally of native character, seem admirably true.... On the whole, we have never read a more vivid and faithful narrative of military adventure in India."--_The Academy._

BY G. A. HENTY.

"No more interesting boys' books are written than Mr. Henty's stories."--_Daily Chronicle._

=Under Drake's Flag:= A Tale of the Spanish Main. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._

"The best of this year's Henty. His narrative is more interesting than many of the tales with which the public is familiar, of escape from Siberia. Despite their superior claim to authenticity these tales are without doubt no less fictitious than Mr. Henty's, and he beats them hollow in the matter of sensations."--_National Observer._

=Orange and Green:= A Tale of the Boyne and Limerick. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._

=A Final Reckoning:= A Tale of Bush Life in Australia. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by W. B. WOLLEN. 5_s._

"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 honourable, manly, and even heroic character."--_Birmingham Post._

=At War With Pontiac:= or, The Totem of the Bear. By KIRK MUNROE. Illustrated by J. FINNEMORE. 5_s._

=The White Conquerors of Mexico:= A Tale of Toltec and Aztec. By KIRK MUNROE. Illustrated by W. S. STACEY. 5_s._

"Mr. Munroe gives most vivid pictures of the religious and civil polity of the Aztecs, and of everyday life, as he imagines it, in the streets and market-places of the magnificent capital of Montezuma."--_The Times._

_Crown 8vo, cloth elegant_.

=Two Thousand Years Ago:= or, The Adventures of a Roman Boy. By Professor A. J. CHURCH. With 12 page Illustrations by ADRIEN MARIE. 6_s._

=Devon Boys:= A Tale of the North Shore. By G. MANVILLE FENN. With 12 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
