"His tale of the days of Wallace and Bruce is full of stirring action, and will commend itself to boys."—Athenæum.

"By Right of Conquest is the nearest approach to a perfectly successful historical tale that Mr. Henty has yet published."—Academy.

"We are not aware that anyone has given us quite so vigorous a picture of Britain in the days of the Roman conquest. Mr. Henty has done his utmost to make an impressive picture of the haughty Roman character, with its indomitable courage, sternness, and discipline. Beric is good all through."—Spectator.

"The mission of Ned to deliver letters from William the Silent to his adherents at Brussels, the fight of the Good Venture with the Spanish man-of-war, the battle on the ice at Amsterdam, the siege of Haarlem, are all told with a vividness and skill which are worthy of Mr. Henty at his best."—Academy.

"Wulf the Saxon is second to none of Mr. Henty's historical tales, and we may safely say that a boy may learn from it more genuine history than he will from many a tedious tome. The points of the Saxon character are hit off very happily, and the life of the period is ably reconstructed."—The Spectator.

"The picture of the Punjaub during its last few years of independence, the description of the battles on the Sutlej, and the portraiture generally of native character, seem admirably true.... On the whole, we have never read a more vivid and faithful narrative of military adventure in India."—The Academy.
