For the Temple: A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem. Illustrated by SOLOMON J.
SOLOMON, A.R.A. With a Map. 3_s._ 6_d._
Mr. Henty weaves into the record of Josephus an admirable and attractive
plot. The troubles in the district of Tiberias, the marches of the
legions, the sieges of Jotapata, of Gamala, and of Jerusalem, form an
impressive 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 Temple, and after a brief term of
slavery at Alexandria returns to his Galilean home with the favour of
Titus.
"A good tale of early Bible times, told with a verve and vigour that
keeps the interest sustained to the very end."--_Academy_.
--With Kitchener in the Soudan: A Tale of Atbara and Omdurman. With 10
Illustrations by W. RAINEY, R.I., and 3 Maps. 6_s._
In carrying out various special missions with which he is entrusted the
hero displays so much dash and enterprise that he soon attains an
exceptionally high rank for his age. In all the operations he takes a
distinguished part, and adventure follows so close on adventure that the
end of the story is reached all too soon.
"Mr. Henty has collected a vast amount of information about the
reconquest of the Soudan, and he succeeds in impressing it upon his
reader's mind at the very time when he is interesting him
most."--_Literary World_.
--With the British Legion: A Story of the Carlist Wars. With 10
Illustrations by WAL PAGET. 6_s._
The hero joins the British Legion, which was raised by Sir de Lacy Evans
to support the cause of Queen Christina and the Infant Queen Isabella, and
as soon as he sets foot on Spanish soil his adventures begin. Arthur is
one of Mr. Henty's most brilliant heroes, and the tale of his experiences
is thrilling and breathless from first to last.
"It is a rattling story told with verve and spirit."--_Pall Mall
Gazette_.
--The Treasure of the Incas: A Tale of Adventure in Peru. With 8
Illustrations by WAL PAGET, and a Map. 5_s._
The heroes of this powerful story go to Peru to look for the treasure
which the Incas hid when the Spaniards invaded the country. Their task is
both arduous and dangerous, but though they are often disappointed, their
courage and perseverance are at last amply rewarded.
"The interest never flags for one moment, and the story is told with
vigour
