lifornia are told with that vigour which is peculiar to Mr. Henty."--_The Academy._ "Mr. Henty is careful to mingle solid instruction with entertainment; and the humorous touches, especially in the sketch of John Holl, the Westminster dustman, Dickens himself could hardly have excelled."--_Christian Leader._ BY G.A. HENTY. "Surely Mr. Henty should understand boys' tastes better than any man living."--_The Times._ * * * * * =Bonnie Prince Charlie:= A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By G.A. Henty. With 12 full-page Illustrations by Gordon Browne. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s_. "Ronald, the hero, is very like the hero of _Quentin Durward_. The lad's journey across France with his faithful attendant Malcolm, and his hairbreadth escapes from the machinations of his father's enemies, make up as good a narrative of the kind as we have ever read. For freshness of treatment and variety of incident, Mr. Henty has here surpassed himself."--_Spectator._ "A historical romance of the best quality.

By G.A. Henty. With 12 full-page Illustrations by John Schoenberg. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s_. "As we might expect from Mr. Henty the tale is a clever and instructive piece of history, and as boys may be trusted to read it conscientiously, they can hardly fail to be profited as well as pleased."--_The Times._ "A praiseworthy attempt to interest Br
