_FOR THE TEMPLE:_
A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem. By G. A. HENTY.
With 10 full-page Illustrations by S. J. SOLOMON:
and a coloured Map. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, $1.50.
Mr. Henty here weaves into the record of Josephus an admirable and
attractive story. The troubles in the district of Tiberias, the march of
the legions, the sieges of Jotapata, of Gamala, and of Jerusalem, form
the impressive and carefully studied historic setting to the figure of
the lad who passes from the vineyard to the service of Josephus, becomes
the leader of a guerrilla band of patriots, fights bravely for the

"The story is told with all the force of
descriptive power which has made the author's war
stories so famous."--_Church Times._

narrative a tale of daring and adventure, which gives a lifelike
interest to the volume.
"In this book Mr. Henty has contrived to exceed
himself in stirring adventures and thrilling
situations. The p
