the struggle
between Britain and France for supremacy in the North American
continent. On the issue of this war depended not only the destinies
of North America, but to a large extent those of the mother countries
themselves. The fall of Quebec decided that the Anglo-Saxon race
should predominate in the New World; that Britain, and not France,
should take the lead among the nations of Europe; and that English
and American commerce, the English language, and English literature,
should spread right round the globe.

"It is not only a lesson in history as instructively as it is
graphically told, but also a deeply interesting and often
thrilling tale of adventure and peril by flood and
field."--_Illustrated London News._

True to the Old Flag: A Tale of the American War of Independence.
By G. A. HENTY. With full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 12mo,
cloth, price $1.00.

In this story the author has gone to the accounts of officers who
took part in the conflict, and lads will find that in no war in which
American and British soldiers have been engaged did they behave with
greater courage and good conduct. The historical portion of the book
being accompanied with numerous thrilling adventures with the
redskins on the shores of Lake Huron, a story of exciting interest is
interwoven with the general narrative and carried through the book.

"Does justice to the pluck and determination of the British
soldiers during the unfortunate struggle against American
emancipation. The son of an American loyalist, who remains true
to our flag, falls among the hostile redskins in that very Huron
country which has been endeared to us by the exploits of Hawkeye
and Chingachgook."--_The Times._

vivacious."--_Saturday Review_.
