t and the lore of the archaeologist have had
full scope, with the result that we have a narrative of adventure
of the most romantic kind, and at the same time an interesting and
minutely accurate account of the old Icelandic families, their
homes, their mode of life, their superstitions, their songs and
stories, their bear-serk fury, and their heroism by land and sea.
The story is told throughout with a simplicity which will make it
attractive even to the very young, and no boy will be able to
withstand the magic of such scenes as the fight of Grettir with the
twelve bear-serks, the wrestle with Karr the Old in the chamber of
the dead, the combat with the spirit of Glam the thrall, and the
defence of the dying Grettir by his younger brother.

=With Lee in Virginia:= A Story of the American Civil War. By G.A.
Henty. With 10 full-page Illustrations by Gordon Browne.
Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s_.

The great war between the Northern and Southern States of America
has the special interest for English boys of having been a struggle
between two sections of a people akin to us in race and language--a
struggle fought out by each side with unusual intensity of
conviction in the rightness of its cause, and abounding in heroic
incidents. Of these points Mr. Henty has made admirable use in this
story of a young Virginian planter, who, after bravely proving his
sympathy with the slaves, serves with no less courage and
enthusiasm under Lee and Jackson through the most exciting events
of the struggle. He has many hairbreadth escapes, is several times
wounded and twice taken prisoner; but his courage and readiness
bring him safely through all difficulties.
