_ST. GEORGE FOR ENGLAND:_

A Tale of Cressy and Poitiers. By G. A. HENTY.
With 8 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE,
in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
$1.50.

No portion of English history is more crowded with great events than
that of the reign of Edward III. Cressy and Poitiers laid France
prostrate at the feet of England; the Spanish fleet was dispersed and
destroyed by a naval battle as remarkable in its incidents as was that
which broke up the Armada in the time of Elizabeth. Europe was ravaged
by the dreadful plague known as the Black Death, and France was the
scene of the terrible peasant rising called the Jacquerie. All these
stirring events are treated by the author in _St. George for England_.
The hero of the story, although of good family, begins life as a London
apprentice, but after countless adventures and perils, becomes by valour
and good conduct the squire, and at last the trusted friend of the Black
Prince.

"Mr. Henty has developed for himself a type of
historical novel for boys which bids fair to
supplement, on their behalf, the historical
labours of Sir Walter Scott in the land of
fiction."--_Standard._

"Mr. Henty as a boy's story-teller stands in the
very foremost rank. With plenty of scope to work
upon he has produced a strong story at once
instructive and entertaining."--_Glasgow Herald._

"Mr. Henty is the prince of story-tellers for
boys."--_Sheffield Independent._

to Australia, and gets employment as an officer in the mounted police.

A few years of active work on the frontier, where he has many a brush
