The +hero, Philip Fletcher, is a right true English lad, but he has a +French connection on the mother's side. This kinship induces him +to cross the Channel in order to take a share in that splendid +struggle for freedom known as the Huguenot wars. Naturally he +sides with the Protestants, distinguishes himself in various +battles, and receives rapid promotion for the zeal and daring with +which he carries out several secret missions. At length, however, +he is entrapped in Paris, with other prominent Huguenots, on that +terrible St. Bartholomew's Eve, when the tocsin gave the signal +at midnight for the massacre to begin. It is an enthralling +narrative, and the chapter which deals with the escape of the hero +out of that monstrous city is one of the most thrilling in a story +which is full of interest. +</p> + +<p class="hang"> +<b>Through the Sikh War</b>: A Tale of the Conquest of the +Punjaub.

Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6<i>s.</i> +</p> + +<p class="blurb"> +This story gives a vivid picture of the pluck and obstinacy with +which the British maintained their ascendency in India. Percy +Groves, a spirited English lad, leaves school to join his uncle in +the Punjaub, where he is governor of a district under the native +Sikh prince, Runjeet Singh. The natives are in a state of revolt, +and Percy takes an active part in all the troubles which precede +the Sikh war. His uncle's fortress is beleaguered, and he assists +in repelling the attack. Then when the authorities at Lahore +proclaim war Percy joins the British force as a volunteer, and +takes a distinguished share in the famous battles of Moodkee, +Sobraon, and Chillianwalla. Apart from its high interest as a +record of personal daring, this story shows in dashing style how +Englishmen have made an Empire. +</p> + +<hr class="short"> + +<p class="ctrbold"> +BY G. A.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/37460-h/images/001.jpg b/37460-h/images/001.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e710740 --- /dev/null +++ b/37460-h/images/001.jpg diff --git a/37460-h/images/002.jpg b/37460-h/images/002.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..05d853c --- /dev/null +++ b/37460-h/images/002.jpg |
