"Surely Mr. Henty should understand boys' tastes better than any man
living."--_The Times._

=Bonnie Prince Charlie:= A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By G.A.
Henty. With 12 full-page Illustrations by Gordon Browne.
Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s_.
"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._
"A historical romance of the best quality. Mr. Henty has written
many more sensational stories, but never a more artistic
one."--_Academy._
=For the Temple:= A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem. By G.A.
Henty. With 10 full-page Illustrations by Solomon J.
Solomon: and a coloured Map. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine
edges, _6s_.
"Mr. Henty is ever one of the foremost writers of historical tales,
and his graphic prose pictures of the hopeless Jewish resistance to
Roman sway adds another leaf to his record of the famous wars of
the world. The book is one of Mr. Henty's cleverest
efforts."--_Graphic._
"The story is told with all the force of descriptive power which
has made the author's war stories so famous, and many an 'old boy'
as well as the younger ones will delight in this narrative of that
awful page of history."--_Church Times._
=The Lion Of the North:= A Tale of Gustavus Adolphus and the Wars of
Religion. By G.A. Henty. With 12 full-page Illustrations by
John Schönberg. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s_.
"As we might expect from Mr. Henty the tale is a clever and
instructive piece of history, and as boys may be trusted to read it
conscientiously, they can hardly fail to be profited as well as
pleased."--_The Times._
"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._
"A stirring story of stirring times. This book should hold a place
among the classics of youthful fiction."--_United Service Gazette._
=The Young Carthaginian:= A story of the Times of Hannibal. By G.A.
Henty. With 12 full-page Illustrations by C.J. Staniland,
R.I. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s_.
"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._
"Ought to be popular with boys who are not too ill instructed or
too dandified to be affected by a graphic picture of the days and
deeds of Hannibal."--_Athenæum._
