The adventures of the son of a Scotch officer in French service who had
secretly married the daughter of a noble. The boy, brought up by a

with the French army at Dettingen. Having discovered the convent in

and succeeds in obtaining through Marshal Saxe the release of both his
parents. He kills his father's foe in a duel, and escaping to the coast,
shares the adventures of Prince Charlie, but finally settles happily in
Scotland.

Henty has written many more sensational stories
than _Bonnie Prince Charlie_ but never a more
artistic one."--_Academy._

"Mr. Henty is one of the best of story-tellers for
young people."--_Spectator_.
