By Right of Conquest; or, With Cortez in Mexico. By G. A. Henty. With
illustrations by W. S. Stacey. 12mo, cloth, olivine edges, price $1.50.
"The conquest of Mexico by a small band of resolute men under the
magnificent leadership of Cortez is always rightfully ranked among the
most romantic and daring exploits in history. 'By Right of Conquest' is
the nearest approach to a perfectly successful historical tale that Mr.
Henty has yet published."--Academy.
For Name and Fame; or, Through Afghan Passes. By G. A. Henty. With
illustrations by Gordon Browne. 12mo, cloth, olivine edges, price $1.00.
"Not only a rousing story, replete with all the varied forms of
excitement of a campaign, but, what is still more useful, an account of a
territory and its inhabitants which must for a long time possess a supreme
interest for Englishmen, as being the key to our Indian Empire."--Glasgow

The Bravest of the Brave; or, With Peterborough in Spain. By G. A. Henty.

With illustrations by Gordon Browne. 12mo, cloth, olivine edges, price

journey across France, and his hairbreadth escapes, makes up as good a

variety of incident Mr. Henty has surpassed himself."--Spectator.
