By Right of Conquest; or, With Cortez in Mexico. By G. A. HENTY.
With full-page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY, and Two Maps. 12mo,
cloth, price $1.50.

The conquest of Mexico by a small band of resolute men under the
magnificent leadership of Cortez is always rightly ranked among the
most romantic and daring exploits in history. With this as the ground
work of his story Mr. Henty has interwoven the adventures of an
English youth, Roger Hawkshaw, the sole survivor of the good ship
Swan, which had sailed from a Devon port to challenge the mercantile
supremacy of the Spaniards in the New World. He is beset by many
perils among the natives, but is saved by his own judgment and
strength, and by the devotion of an Aztec princess. At last by a ruse
he obtains the protection of the Spaniards, and after the fall of
Mexico he succeeds in regaining his native shore, with a fortune and
a charming Aztec bride.

"'By Right of Conquest' is the nearest approach to a perfectly
successful historical tale that Mr. Henty has yet
published."--_Academy._

In the Reign of Terror: The Adventures of a Westminster Boy. By G.
A. HENTY. With full-page Illustrations by J. SCHOENBERG. 12mo, cloth,
price $1.00.

Harry Sandwith, a Westminster boy, becomes a resident at the chateau
of a French marquis, and after various adventures accompanies the
family to Paris at the crisis of the Revolution. Imprisonment and
death reduce their number, and the hero finds himself beset by perils
with the three young daughters of the house in his charge. After
hairbreadth escapes they reach Nantes. There the girls are condemned
to death in the coffin-ships, but are saved by the unfailing courage
of their boy protector.

"Harry Sandwith, the Westminster boy, may fairly be said to beat
Mr. Henty's record. His adventures will delight boys by the
audacity and peril they depict.... The story is one of Mr.
Henty's best."--_Saturday Review._
