A. HENTY. With illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. 12mo, cloth, olivine edges, price $1.00. "It is an admirable book for youngsters. It overflows with stirring incident and exciting adventure, and the color of the era and of the scene are finely reproduced. The illustrations add to its attractiveness."--Boston Gazette. 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 Herald. The Bravest of the Brave; or, With Peterborough in Spain. By G.A. HENTY. With illustrations by H.M. PAGET, 12mo cloth, olivine edges, price $1.00. "Mr. Henty never loses sight of the moral purpose of his work--to enforce the doctrine of courage and truth, mercy and loving kindness, as indispensable to the making of a gentleman. Boys 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 illustrations. 12mo, cloth, olivine edges, price $1.00. "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. Bonnie Prince Charlie: A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By G.A. HENTY. With illustrations by GORDON BROWNE, 12mo, cloth, olivine edges, price $1.00. "Ronald, the hero, is very like the hero of 'Quentin Durward,' The lad's journey across France, and his hairbreadth escapes, makes up as good a narrative of the kind as we have ever read. For freshness of treatment and variety of incident Mr. Henty has surpassed himself."--Spect
