ys' story-book should be. Mr. Henty has a great power of infusing into the dead facts of history new life, and as no pains are spared by him to ensure accuracy in historic details, his books supply useful aids to study as well as amusement."--_School Guardian._ In Freedom's Cause: A Story of Wallace and Bruce.

Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._ "Mr. Henty has never produced a more truly historical romance, and scarcely ever a more piquantly-written narrative. One, at least, of his battle-pieces is full of the old 'special correspondent' fire."--_The Academy_. "Incident succeeds incident, and adventure is piled upon adventure, and at the end the reader, be he boy or man, will have experienced breathless enjoyment in a romantic story that must have taught him much at its close."--_Army and Navy Gazette_. "Shows Mr. Henty at his best. _A Jacobite Exile_ is full of life, adventure, and movement, and admirably illustrated; it is in Mr. Henty's best manner, and while never losing sight of the imaginative and romantic interest, has a substantial value as a bit of historical painting."--_Scotsman_. Condemned as a Nihilist: A Story of Escape from Siberia. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 page
