"In the King's Name" is a spirited story of the Jacobite times,
concerning the adventures of Hilary Leigh, a young naval officer in
the preventive service off the coast of Sussex, on board the
_Kestrel_. Leigh is taken prisoner by the adherents of the
Pretender, amongst whom is an early friend and patron who desires
to spare the lad's life, but will not release him. The narrative is
full of exciting and often humorous incident.
"Mr. Manville Fenn has already won a foremost place among writers
of stories for boys. 'In the King's Name,' is, we are inclined to
think, the best of all his productions in this field."--_Daily
News._
"Told with the freshness and verve which characterize all Mr.
Fenn's writings and put him in the front rank of writers for
boys."--_Standard._
