In this story the author relates the stirring tale of the Scottish War
of Independence. The extraordinary valour and personal prowess of
Wallace and Bruce rival the deeds of the mythical heroes of chivalry,
and indeed at one time Wallace was ranked with these legendary
personages. The researches of modern historians have shown, however,
that he was a living, breathing man--and a valiant champion. The hero of
the tale fought under both Wallace and Bruce, and while the strictest
historical accuracy has been maintained with respect to public events,
the work is full of "hairbreadth 'scapes" and wild adventure.

"Mr. Henty has broken new ground as an historical
novelist. His tale is full of stirring action, and
will commend itself to boys."--_Athenaeum._

"It is written in the author's best style. Full of
the wildest and most remarkable achievements, it
is a tale of great interest, which a boy, once he
has begun it, will not willingly put on one
side."--_The Schoolmaster._

"Scarcely anywhere have we seen in prose a more
lucid and spirit-stirring description of
Bannockburn than the one with which the author
fittingly closes his volume."--_Dumfries
Standard._

_UNDER DRAKE'S FLAG._

A Tale of the Spanish Main. By G. A. HENTY.
Illustrated by 12 full-page Pictures by GORDON
BROWNE, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth
elegant, olivine edges, $1.50.

A story of the days when England and Spain struggled for the supremacy
of the sea, and England carried off the palm. The heroes sail as lads
with Drake in the expedition in which the Pacific Ocean was first seen
by an Englishman from a tree-top on the Isthmus of Panama, and in his
great voyage of circumnavigation. The historical portion of the story is
absolutely to be relied upon, but this, although very useful to lads,
will perhaps be less attractive than the great variety of exciting
adventure through which the young adventurers pass in the course of
their voyages.

"A stirring book of Drake's time, and just such a
book as the youth of this maritime country are
likely to prize highly."--_Daily Telegraph._
