Or, The Winning of a Continent. By G. A. HENTY.

In the present volume Mr. Henty gives an account of 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

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._
"A model of what a boy's story-book should be. Mr.
Henty has a great power of infusing into the dead
facts of history new life, and his books supply
useful aids to study as well as
amusement."--_School Guardian._

Yorkshire at the commencement of the present century, when the high
price of food induced by the war and the introduction of machinery drove
the working-classes to desperation, and caused them to band themselves
in that wide-spread organization known as the Luddite Society. There is
