"Every boy should read The Lion of St. Mark. Mr. Henty has never produced any story more delightful, more wholesome, or more vivacious. From first to last it will be read with keen enjoyment."—The Saturday Review.

"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.


BY G. A. HENTY.

The Lion Of the North: A Tale of Gustavus Adolphus and the Wars of Religion. By G. A. Henty. With 12 page Pictures by J. Schönberg. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6s.

"A praiseworthy attempt to interest British youth in the great deeds of the Scotch Brigade in the wars of Gustavus Adolphus. Mackay, Hepburn, and Munro live again in Mr. Henty's pages, as those deserve to live whose disciplined bands formed really the germ of the modern British army."—Athenæum.

With Wolfe in Canada: Or, The Winning of a Continent. By G. A. Henty. With 12 page Illustrations by Gordon Browne. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6s.

"Mr. Henty inspires a love and admiration for straightforwardness, truth, and courage. This is one of the best of the many good books Mr. Henty has produced, and deserves to be classed with his Facing Death."—Standard.

Captain Bayley's Heir: A Tale of the Gold Fields of California. By G. A. Henty. With 12 page Illustrations by H. M. Paget. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6s.

A Jacobite Exile: Being the Adventures of a Young Englishman in the Service of Charles XII. of Sweden. By G. A. Henty. With 8 page Illustrations by Paul Hardy, and a Map. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5s.

In this story Sir Marmaduke Carstairs, who is a Jacobite, is denounced as a plotter against the life of King William, and although innocent of the charge, he has to flee from England. His son Charlie, who goes with him to Sweden, is the hero of the tale. This youth joins the foreign legion under Charles XII. of Sweden, and takes a distinguished part in several famous campaigns against the Russians and the Poles. Besides his stirring career as a soldier, the narrative is full of the hero's personal adventures in Poland, Sweden, Russia, and England. The narrative swings along at a breathless pace, and holds the reader entranced to the end.

Condemned as a Nihilist: A Story of Escape from Siberia. By G. A. Henty. With 8 page Illustrations by Walter Paget. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5s.

"The best of this year's Henty. His narrative is more interesting than many of the tales with which the public is familiar, of escape from Siberia. Despite their superior claim to authenticity these tales are without doubt no less fictitious than Mr. Henty's, and he beats them hollow in the matter of sensations. The escape of the hero and his faithful Tartar from the Samoyedes is quite the high-water mark of this author's achievement."—National Observer.
