ne of the best of the many good books Mr. Henty has produced, and deserves to be classed with his _Facing Death_."--_Standard._ "The interest of the story never flags. Were we to propose a competition for the best list of novel writers for boys we have little doubt that Mr. Henty's name would stand first."--_Journal of Education._ "This story is told in Mr. Henty's own easy and often graphic style. There is no 'padding' in the book, and its teaching is, that we have enemies within as well as without, and therefore the power of self-control is a quality that should be striven after by every 'true' boy."--_Educational Times._ =Under Drake's Flag:= A Tale of the Spanish Main. By G.A. Henty. Illustrated by 12 full-page Pictures by Gordon Browne. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s._ "There is not a dull chapter, nor, indeed, a dull page in the hook; but the author has so carefully worked up his subject that the exciting deeds of his heroes are never incongruous or absurd."--_Observer._ "Just such a book, indeed, as the youth of this maritime country are likely to prize highly."--_Daily Telegraph._ "A book of adventure, where the hero meets with experience enough one would think to turn his hair gray."--_Harper's Monthly Magazine._ * * * * * BY PROFESSOR A.J. CHURCH. * * * * * =Two Thousand Years Ago:= Or, The Adventures of a Roman Boy. By Professor A.J. Church. With 12 full-page Illustrations by Adrien Marie. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s._ "Adventures well worth the telling. The book is extremely entertaining as well as useful, and there is a wonderful freshness in the Roman scenes and characters."--_The Times._ "Entertaining in the highest degree from beginning to end, and full of adventure which is all the livelier for its close connection with history."--_Spectator._ "We know of no book which will do more to make the Romans of that day live again for the English reader."--_Guardian._ * * * * * =Robinson Crusoe.= By Daniel Defoe. Illustrated by above 100 Pictures by Gordon Browne. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, _6s._ "One of the best issues, if not absolutely the best, of Defoe's work which has ever appeared."--
