With 12 page Illustrations by WAL PAGET, and Maps. 6_s._ “The story is one of Mr. Henty’s best, and so cleverly is history interwoven with fiction that the boy who reads it will know as much about the _Seven Years’ War_ as many an adult student of Carlyle’s masterpiece.”--_Standard._ =With Moore at Corunna=: A Tale of the Peninsular War. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by WAL PAGET. 6_s._ “A very spirited story, well worthy to be ranked with the best of Mr. Henty’s work. Terence O’Connor, up to the time of the opening of the tale, has done little but get into mischief, but as soon as he feels the responsibility of being one of Mr. Henty’s heroes, combines discretion with courage, not forgetting, however, to spice the mixture with a little fun.”--_Spectator._ =The Tiger of Mysore=: A Story of the War with Tippoo Saib. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 Illustrations by W. H.

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._ “Schoolboys owe a deep debt of gratitude to Mr. Henty.”--_The Record._ =At Agincourt=: A Tale of the White Hoods of Paris.

With 10 page Illustrations by S. J. SOLOMON, and a Coloured Map. 6_s._ “Mr. Henty’s graphic prose pictures of the hopeless Jewish resistance to Roman sway adds another leaf to his record of the famous wars of the world. The book is one of Mr. Henty’s cleverest efforts.”--_Graphic._ =True to the Old Flag=: A Tale of the American War of 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._ [Illustration: TERENCE FINDS THAT THE _SEA-HORSE_ HAS BEEN BADLY MAULED BETWEEN-DECKS.] “Among writers of stories of adventure Mr. Henty stands in the very first rank.”--_Academy._ =The Young Carthaginian=: A Story of the Times of Hannibal.

HENTY. With 12 page Pictures by J.

By 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.

A. HENTY.

Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 5_s._ “Not only a rousing story, replete with all the varied forms of excitement of a campaign, but, what is still more useful, an account of a territory and its inhabitants which must for a long time possess a supreme interest for Englishmen, as being the key to our Indian Empire.”--_Glasgow Herald._ =A Jacobite Exile=: Being the Adventures of a Young Englishman in the Service of Charles XII. of Sweden. By G. A. HENTY.

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.

We hope the book will soon be widely known in all our schools.”--_Schoolmaster._ =A Final Reckoning=: A Tale of Bush Life in Australia. By G. A. HENTY. Illustrated by W. B. WOLLEN. 5_s._ “All boys will read this story with eager and unflagging interest.

By A. J. CHURCH. With 12 page Illustrations by RALPH PEACOCK. 6_s._ “Mr. Church’s mastery of his subject and his literary skill are sufficiently complete to carry his adult readers with him. Some of the scenes are highly picturesque, and there is many an exciting adventure that sustains the reader’s curiosity in the fortunes of the hero, Cleanor. As a boys’ book, _Lords of the World_ deserves a hearty welcome.”--_Spectator._ [Illustration: _Reduced Illustration from “Lords of the World”._] =Two Thousand Years Ago=: or, The Adventures of a Roman Boy. By Professor A. J. CHURCH. With 12 page Illustrations by ADRIEN MARIE. 6_s._ “Adventures well worth the telling. The book is extremely entertaining as well as useful, and there is a wonderful freshness in the Roman scenes and characters.”--_The Times._ BY HERBERT HAYENS. =Paris at Bay=: A Story of the Siege and the Commune. By HERBERT HAYENS. With 8 page Illustrations by STANLEY L. WOOD. 5_s._ “The story culminates in the terrible struggle between the Versaillists and the men who follow the red flag.

By G. MANVILLE FENN. Illustrated by FRANK DADD. 6_s._ “We conscientiously believe that boys will find it capital reading.

With 12 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._ “An admirable story, as remarkable for the individuality of its young heroes as for the excellent descriptions of coast scenery and life in North Devon. It is one of the best books we have seen this season.”--_Athenæum._ =The Golden Magnet=: A Tale of the Land of the Incas. By G. MANVILLE FENN. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. 6_s._ “There could be no more welcome present for a boy.

By G. MANVILLE FENN. With 6 page Illustrations. 3_s._ 6_d._ “Mr. Fenn’s books are among the best, if not altogether the best, of the stories for boys.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ 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.

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™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ 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™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause. Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™ Project Gutenberg™ 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™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ 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™ 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. The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread 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™ electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright 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 website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, 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.
