The Young Carthaginian: A Story of the Times of Hannibal. By G. A. HENTY.
With full-page Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND, R.I. 12mo, cloth, price

Boys reading the history of the Punic Wars have seldom a keen

Henty has written this story, which not only gives in graphic style a
brilliant description of a most interesting period of history, but is a
