In Freedom's Cause: A Story of Wallace and Bruce. By G. A. HENTY.
With full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 12mo, cloth, price
$1.00.
In this story the author relates the stirring tale of the Scottish
War of Independence. The extraordinary valor and personal prowess of
Wallace and Bruce rival the deeds of the mythical heroes of chivalry,
and indeed at one time Wallace was ranked with these legendary
personages. The researches of modern historians have shown, however,
that he was a living, breathing man--and a valiant champion. The hero
of the tale fought under both Wallace and Bruce, and while the
strictest historical accuracy has been maintained with respect to
public events, the work is full of "hairbreadth 'scapes" and wild
adventure.
"It is written in the author's best style. Full of the wildest
and most remarkable achievements, it is a tale of great interest,
which a boy, once he has begun it, will not willingly put on one
side."--_The Schoolmaster._
With Lee in Virginia: A Story of the American Civil War. By G. A.
HENTY. With full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 12mo, cloth,

exciting events of the struggle. He has many hairbreadth escapes, is
several times wounded and twice taken prisoner; but his courage and
readiness and, in two cases, the devotion of a black servant and of a
runaway slave whom he had assisted, bring him safely through all
difficulties.
"One of the best stories for lads which Mr. Henty has yet
written. The picture is full of life and color, and the stirring
and romantic incidents are skillfully blended with the personal
interest and charm of the story."--_Standard._
