Illustrations by WAL PAGET. 6_s._
In this stirring romance Mr. Henty gives us the further adventures of
Terence O'Connor, the hero of _With Moore at Corunna_. We are told how, in
alliance with a small force of Spanish guerrillas, the gallant regiment of
Portuguese levies commanded by Terence keeps the whole of the French army
in check at a critical period of the war, rendering invaluable service to
the Iron Duke and his handful of British troops.
"An admirable exposition of Mr. Henty's masterly method of combining

The hero takes a distinguished part in the defence of Herat, and
subsequently obtains invaluable information for the British army during
the first Afghan war. He is fortunately spared the horrors of the retreat
from Cabul, and shares in the series of operations by which that most
disastrous blunder was retrieved.

--With Cochrane the Dauntless: A Tale of his Exploits. With 12 page
Illustrations by W. H. MARGETSON. 6_s._
It would be hard to find, even in sensational fiction, a more daring
leader than Lord Cochrane, or a career which supplies so many thrilling
exploits. The manner in which, almost single-handed, he scattered the
French fleet in the Basque Roads is one of the greatest feats in English
naval history.
"As rousing and interesting a book as boys could wish for."--_Saturday
Review_.
