The Lion of the North: A Tale of Gustavus Adolphus and the Wars of
Religion. By G. A. HENTY. With full-page Illustrations by JOHN
SCHOENBERG. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

In this story Mr. Henty gives the history of the first part of the

Scotchmen, and among these was the hero of the story.

boys may be trusted to read it conscientiously, they can hardly
fail to be profited."--_Times._

HENTY. With full-page Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND, R.I. 12mo,
cloth, price $1.00.

In this story the author gives an account of the fierce struggle
between Saxon and Dane for supremacy in England, and presents a vivid
picture of the misery and ruin to which the country was reduced by
the ravages of the sea-wolves. The hero, a young Saxon thane, takes
part in all the battles fought by King Alfred. He is driven from his
home, takes to the sea and resists the Danes on their own element,
and being pursued by them up the Seine, is present at the long and
desperate siege of Paris.

The Young Carthaginian: A Story of the Times of Hannibal. By G. A.
HENTY. With full-page Illustrations by C. J. STANILAND, R.I. 12mo,

Boys reading the history of the Punic Wars have seldom a keen
appreciation of the merits of the contest. That it was at first a
struggle for empire, and afterward for existence on the part of
Carthage, that Hannibal was a great and skillful general, that he
defeated the Romans at Trebia, Lake Trasimenus, and Cannae, and all
but took Rome, represents pretty nearly the sum total of their
knowledge. To let them know more about this momentous struggle for
the empire of the world Mr. Henty has written this story, which not

sure to secure the interest of the reader.

stream whose current varies in direction, b
