Maori and Settler:

A Story of the New Zealand War

With 8 page Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. 5s.

The Renshaws lose their property and emigrate to New Zealand. Wilfrid, a strong, self-reliant lad, is the mainstay of the household. The odds seem hopelessly against the party, but they succeed in establishing themselves happily in one of the pleasantest of the New Zealand valleys.

"A book which all young people, but especially boys, will read with avidity."--Athæneum.

Beric the Briton:

A Story of the Roman Invasion of Britain

With 12 page Illustrations by W. PARKINSON. 6s.

Beric is a boy-chief of a British tribe which takes a prominent part in the insurrection under Boadicea: and after the defeat of that heroic queen he continues the struggle in the fen-country. Ultimately Beric is defeated and carried captive to Rome, where he succeeds in saving a Christian man by slaying a lion in the arena, and is rewarded by being made the personal protector of Nero. Finally, he escapes and returns to Britain, where he becomes a wise ruler of his own people.

"He is a hero of the most attractive kind.... One of the most spirited and well-imagined stories Mr. Henty has written."--Saturday Review.

"His conflict with a lion in the arena is a thrilling chapter."--School Beard Chronicle.

"Full of every form of heroism and pluck."--Christian World.

The Dash for Khartoum:

A Tale of the Nile Expedition.

With 10 page Illustrations by JOHN SCHÖNBERG and J. NASH. 6s.

In the record of recent British history there is no more captivating page for boys than the story of the Nile campaign, and the attempt to rescue General Gordon. For, in the difficulties which the expedition encountered, and in the perils which it overpassed, are found all the excitement of romance, as well as the fascination which belongs to real events.

"The Dash for Khartoum is your ideal boys' book."--Tablet.

"It is literally true that the narrative never flags a moment."--Academy.

"Thec Dash for Khartoum will be appreciated even by those who don't ordinarily care a dash for anything."--Punch.
