certainly worked a new vein on juvenile fiction, and the ability with
which he handles a difficult subject stamps him as a writer of
undoubted skill.

The Bravest of the Brave; or, With Peterborough in Spain. By G. A.
HENTY. With full-page Illustrations by H. M. PAGET. 12mo, cloth,
price $1.00.

There are few great leaders whose lives and actions have so
completely fallen into oblivion as those of the Earl of Peterborough.
This is largely due to the fact that they were overshadowed by the
glory and successes of Marlborough. His career as general extended
over little more than a year, and yet, in that time, he showed a
genius for warfare which has never been surpassed.

"Mr. Henty never loses sight of the moral purpose of his work--to
enforce the doctrine of courage and truth. Lads will read 'The
Bravest of the Brave' with pleasure and profit; of that we are
quite sure."--_Daily Telegraph._

The Cat of Bubastes: A Story of Ancient Egypt. By G. A. HENTY. With
full-page Illustrations. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

A story which will give young readers an unsurpassed insight into the
customs of the Egyptian people. Amuba, a prince of the Rebu nation,
is carried with his charioteer Jethro into slavery. They become
inmates of the house of Ameres, the Egyptian high-priest, and are
happy in his service until the priest's son accidentally kills the
sacred cat of Bubastes. In an outburst of popular fury Ameres is
killed, and it rests with Jethro and Amuba to secure the escape of
the high-priest's son and daughter.

"The story, from the critical moment of the killing of the sacred
cat to the perilous exodus into Asia with which it closes, is
very skillfully constructed and full of exciting adventures. It
is admirably illustrated."--_Saturday Review._

With Washington at Monmouth: A Story of Three Philadelphia Boys. By
JAMES OTIS. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

boarding-house which was patronized by the British officers;" Enoch
Ball, "son of that Mrs. Ball whose dancing school was situated on
Letitia Street," and little Jacob, son of "Chris, the Baker," serve
as the principal characters. The story is laid during the winter when
Lord Howe held possession of the city, and the lads aid the cause by
