_FOR NAME AND FAME:_

Or, Through Afghan Passes. By G. A. HENTY. With 8
full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE, in black
and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, $1.50.

This is an interesting story of the last war in Afghanistan. The hero,
after being wrecked and going through many stirring adventures among the
Malays, finds his way to Calcutta, and enlists in a regiment proceeding
to join the army at the Afghan passes. He accompanies the force under
General Roberts to the Peiwar Kotal, is wounded, taken prisoner, and
carried to Cabul, whence he is transferred to Candahar, and takes part
in the final defeat of the army of Ayoub Khan.

"Mr. Henty's pen is never more effectively
employed than when he is describing incidents of
warfare. The best feature of the book--apart from
the interest of its scenes of adventure--is its
honest effort to do justice to the patriotism of
the Afghan people."--_Daily News._

"Here we have not only a rousing story, replete
with all the varied forms of excitement of a
campaign, but an instructive history of a recent
war, and, what is still more useful, an account of
a territory and its inhabitants which must for a
long time possess a supreme interest for
Englishmen, as being the key to our Indian
Empire."--_Glasgow Herald._

and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, $1.50.

The Ashanti Campaign seems but an event of yesterday, but it happened
when the generation now rising up were too young to have made themselves
acquainted with its incidents. The author has woven, in a tale of
thrilling interest, all the details of the campaign, of which he was
himself a witness. His hero, after many exciting adventures in the
interior, finds himself at Coomassie just before the outbreak of the
war, is detained a prisoner by the king, is sent down with the army
which invaded the British Protectorate, escapes, and accompanies th
