+
+"This tale we specially recommend; for the career of Lord Cochrane and
+his many valiant fights in the cause of liberty deserves to be better
+known than they are."--_St. James's Gazette._
+
+     =The Tiger of Mysore:= A Story of the War with Tippoo Saib.
+     By G. A. HENTY. With 12 Illustrations by W. H.
+     MARGETSON, and a Map. 6_s._
+
+"Mr. Henty not only concocts a thrilling tale, he weaves fact and
+fiction together with so skilful a hand that the reader cannot help
+acquiring a just and clear view of that fierce and terrible struggle
+which gave to us our Indian Empire."--_Athenaeum._
+
+     =A Knight of the White Cross:= A Tale of the Siege of Rhodes. By
+     G. A. HENTY. With 12 full-page Illustrations by RALPH
+     PEACOCK. 6_s._
+
+"Mr. Henty is a giant among boys' writers, and his books are
+sufficiently popular to be sure of a welcome anywhere.... In stirring
+interest, this is quite up to the level of Mr. Henty's former
+historical tales."--_Saturday Review._
+
+     =When London Burned:= A Story of Restoration Times and the Great
+     Fire. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by
+     J. FINNEMORE. 6_s._
+
+"No boy needs to have any story of Henty's recommended to him, and
+parents who do not know and buy him for their boys should be ashamed
+of themselves. Those to whom he is yet unknown could not make a better
+beginning than with _When London Burned_."--_British Weekly._
+
+
+BY G. A. HENTY
+
+"Among writers of stories of adventure for boys Mr. Henty stands in the

+     Century. By G. A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by
+     GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
+
+"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._
+
+     =By England's Aid:= The Freeing of the Netherlands (1585-1604).

+     A. HENTY. Illustrated with 12 page Pictures by GORDON
+     BROWNE. 6_s._
+
+"A model of what a boys' story-book should be. Mr. Henty has a great

+pains are spared by him to ensure accuracy in historic details, his
+books supply useful aids to study as well as amusement."--_School
+Guardian._
+

+     G. A. HENTY. Illustrated with 12 page Pictures by
+     GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
+
+"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._

+     HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by S. J. SOLOMON,

+     Independence. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations
+     by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._

+"Does justice to the pluck and determination of the British soldiers.
+The son of an American loyalist, who remains true to our flag, falls
+among the hostile redskins in that very Huron country which has been
+endeared to us by the exploits of Hawkeye and Chingachgook."--_The
+Times._
+
+"Mr. Henty undoubtedly possesses the secret of writing eminently
+successful historical tales; and those older than the lads whom
+the author addresses in his preface may read the story with
+pleasure."--_Academy._
+
+_Specimen Illustration from_
+
+"_WITH COCHRANE THE DAUNTLESS_".
+
+[Illustration: STEPHEN BEATS OFF THE GREAT WAR-CANOE SINGLE-HANDED.]

+     of Religion. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Pictures by
+     J. SCHOeNBERG. 6_s._
+
+"A praiseworthy attempt to interest British youth in the great deeds of
+the Scotch Brigade in the wars of Gustavus Adolphus. Mackay, Hepburn,

+whose disciplined bands formed really the germ of the modern British
+army."--_Athenaeum._
+
+     =The Young Carthaginian:= A Story of the Times of Hannibal. By
+     G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by C. J.
+     STANILAND, R.I. 6_s._
+
+"The effect of an interesting story, well constructed and vividly told,
+is enhanced by the picturesque quality of the scenic background. From
+first to last nothing stays the interest of the narrative. It bears us
+along as on a stream whose current varies in direction, but never loses
+its force."--_Saturday Review._
+
+     =Redskin and Cow-boy:= A Tale of the Western Plains. By G. A.
+     HENTY. Illustrated by ALFRED PEARSE. 6_s._
+
+"It has a good plot; it abounds in action; the scenes are equally
+spirited and realistic, and we can only say we have read it with much
+pleasure from first to last. The pictures of life on a cattle ranch are
+most graphically painted, as are the manners of the reckless but jovial
+cow-boys."--_Times._
+
+     =With Clive in India:= or, The Beginnings of an Empire. By G.
+     A. HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._
+

+place in the hands of their children."--_Academy._

+     (1821-1827). By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations
+     by W. S. STACEY, and a Map. 6_s._
+
+"There are adventures of all kinds for the hero and his friends, whose
+pluck and ingenuity in extricating themselves from awkward fixes are
+always equal to the occasion. It is an excellent story, and if the
+proportion of history is smaller than usual, the whole result leaves
+nothing to be desired."--_Journal of Education._
+
+     =The Dash for Khartoum:= A Tale of the Nile Expedition. By G.
+     A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by J. SCHOeNBERG
+     and J. NASH, and 4 Plans. 6_s._
+
+"It is literally true that the narrative never flags a moment; for the
+incidents which fall to be recorded after the dash for Khartoum has
+been made and failed are quite as interesting as those which precede
+it."--_Academy._
+
+
+BY G. A. HENTY.
+
+"Mr. Henty is the king of story-tellers for boys."--_Sword and Trowel._
+
+_In crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges._

+     HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by H. M. PAGET.
+     6_s._
+
+"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. Illustrated by H. M. PAGET. 6_s._

+just what a healthy intelligent lad should delight in."--_St. James's
+Gazette._
+
+[Illustration: _Reduced Illustration from "A Knight of the White
+Cross"._]
+
+     =St. Bartholomew's Eve:= A Tale of the Huguenot Wars. By G. A.
+     HENTY. Illustrated by H. J. DRAPER. 6_s._
+
+"What would boys do without Mr. Henty? Ever fresh and vigorous, his
+books have at once the solidity of history and the charm of romance.
+_St. Bartholomew's Eve_ is in his best style, and the interest never
+flags. The book is all that could possibly be wished from a boy's point
+of view."--_Journal of Education._
+
+     =In Freedom's Cause:= A Story of Wallace and Bruce. By G. A.
+     HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._

+and will commend itself to boys."--_Athenaeum._
+
+     =By Right of Conquest=: or, With Cortez in Mexico. By G. A.
+     HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY.

+perfectly successful historical tale that Mr. Henty has yet
+published."--_Academy._
+
+
+BY G. A. HENTY.
+
+"Mr. Henty is one of the best of story-tellers for young
+people."--_Spectator._

+
+     =Beric the Briton:= A Story of the Roman Invasion. By G. A.
+     HENTY. Illustrated by W. PARKINSON. 6_s._
+
+"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._
+
+     =By Pike and Dyke:= A Tale of the Rise of the Dutch Republic. By
+     G. A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by MAYNARD
+     BROWN, and 4 Maps. 6_s._
+
+"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._
+
+[Illustration: _Reduced Illustration from "At Agincourt"._]
+
+     =Wulf the Saxon:= A Story of the Norman Conquest. By G. A.
+     HENTY. Illustrated by RALPH PEACOCK. 6_s._
+
+"_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._
+
+     =Through the Sikh War:= A Tale of the Conquest of the Punjaub.
+     By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by HAL
+     HURST, and a Map. 6_s._
+
+"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._
+
+
+BY G. A. HENTY.

+     G. A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by GORDON
+     BROWNE, and 6 Maps. 6_s._
+
+"The story is a capital one and full of variety, and presents us with
+many picturesque scenes of Southern life. Young Wingfield, who is
+conscientious, spirited, and 'hard as nails', would have been a man
+after the very heart of Stonewall Jackson."--_Times._
+
+     =Under Drake's Flag:= A Tale of the Spanish Main. By G. A.
+     HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._

+Gazette._

+fiction."--_Academy._

+     =One of the 28th:= A Tale of Waterloo. By G. A. HENTY.
+     With 8 page Illustrations by W. H. OVEREND, and 2 Maps.
+     5_s._
+
+"Written with Homeric vigour and heroic inspiration. It is graphic,

+cover to cover'."--_Observer._

+
+"Mr. Henty never loses sight of the moral purpose of his work--to

+a supreme interest for Englishmen, as being the key to our Indian
+Empire."--_Glasgow Herald._

+     =Condemned as a Nihilist:= A Story of Escape from Siberia. By
+     G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by WALTER PAGET. 5_s._
+
+"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."--_National Observer._
+
+     =Orange and Green:= A Tale of the Boyne and Limerick. By G. A.
+     HENTY. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._

+     A. HENTY. With 8 page Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND,
+     R.I. 5_s._
+
+"A story that may justly be styled remarkable. Boys, in reading it,
+will be surprised to find how Alfred persevered, through years of
+bloodshed and times of peace, to rescue his people from the thraldom
+of the Danes. We hope the book will soon be widely known in all our
+schools."--_Schoolmaster._
+

+     A. HENTY. Illustrated by W. B. WOLLEN. 5_s._
+
+"All boys will read this story with eager and unflagging interest.
+The episodes are in Mr. Henty's very best vein--graphic, exciting,
+realistic; and, as in all Mr. Henty's books, the tendency is
+to the formation of an honourable, manly, and even heroic
+character."--_Birmingham Post._

+     A. HENTY. With 6 Illustrations by SIMON H. VEDDER.
+     3_s._ 6_d._

+period."--_Standard._

+     Alexandria. By G. A. HENTY. With 6 page Illustrations by

+their chapter of adventures is so brisk and entertaining we could have
+wished it longer than it is."--_Saturday Review._

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with

+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+copied or distributed:

+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  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 information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4.  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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+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:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty 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:
+
+     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.
