he best of story-tellers for young people."--_Spectator_. "Surely Mr. Henty should understand boys' tastes better than any man living."--_The Times_. "Among writers of stories of adventure for boys Mr. Henty stands in the very first rank."--_Academy_. "Mr. Henty is one of our most successful writers of historical tales."--_Scotsman_. St. Bartholomew's Eve: A Tale of the Huguenot Wars. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by H. J. DRAPER, and a Map. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._ "A really noble story, which adult readers will find to the full as satisfying as the boys. Lucky boys! to have such a caterer as Mr. G. A. Henty."--_Black and White_. "What would boys do without Mr. Henty?

The book is all that could possibly be wished from a boy's point of view."--_Journal of Education_. "A really good story.... He is a most attractive hero, always plucky and fine-spirited.

His luck is as good as his pluck, and he is covered with credit and glory."--_Times_. "The picture of the Punjab 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....

"It is well to make boys proud of the manner in which Englishmen built up our Indian Empire, and no one knows better how to accomplish this than this author."--_Daily Graphic_. Beric the Briton: A Story of the Roman Invasion. By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by W. PARKINSON.
