pany. His courage and enterprise are rewarded
by quick promotion, and at the end of the war he sails for England,
where he succeeds in establishing his right to the family estates.
"A brisk, dashing narrative."--_Bookman._
-- Under Wellington's Command: A Tale of the Peninsular War. With 12
page Illustrations by WAL PAGET. 6s.
In this stirring romance Mr. Henty gives us the further
adventures of Terence O'Connor, the hero of _With Moore at
Corunna_. We are told how, in alliance with a small force of
Spanish guerrillas, the gallant regiment of Portuguese levies
commanded by Terence keeps the whole of the French army in check
at a critical period of the war, rendering invaluable service to
the Iron Duke and his handful of British troops.
"An admirable exposition of Mr. Henty's masterly method of
combining instruction with amusement."--_World._
-- To Herat and Cabul: A Story of the First Afghan War. With 8 full-page
Illustrations by C. M. SHELDON, and Map. 5s.
The hero takes a distinguished part in the defence of Herat, and
subsequently obtains invaluable information for the British army
during the first Afghan war. He is fortunately spared the
horrors of the retreat from Cabul, and shares in the series of
operations by which that most disastrous blunder was retrieved.
"We can heartily commend it to boys, old and
young."--_Spectator._
-- With Cochrane the Dauntless: A Tale of his Exploits. With 12 page
Illustrations by W. H. MARGETSON. 6s.
It would be hard to find, even in sensational fiction, a more
daring leader than Lord Cochrane, or a career which supplies so
many thrilling exploits. The manner in which, almost
single-handed, he scattered the French fleet in the Basque Roads
is one of the greatest feats in English naval history.
"As rousing and interesting a book as boys could wish
for."--_Saturday Review._
"This tale we specially recommend."--_St. James's Gazette._
