The Young Carthaginian : A Story of the Times of Hannibal. 

 By G. A. HENTY. With full-page Illustrations byC. J. STANI- 

 ,AND, R.I. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00. 



Boys reading the history of the Punic Wars have seldom a keen 

 appreciation of the merits of the contest. That it was at first a 

 struggle for empire, and afterward for existence on the part of 

 Carthage, that Hannibal was a great and skillful general, that he 

 defeated the Romans at Trebia, Lake Trasimenus, and Cannae, 

 and all but took Rome, represents pretty nearly the sum total of 

 their knowledge. To let them know more about this momentous 

 struggle for the empire of the world Mr. Henty has written this 1 

 story, which not only gives in graphic style a brilliant descrip- 

 tion of a most interesting period of historv, but is a tale of ex- 

 citing adventure sure to secure the interest * >f the reader. 



" Well constructed and vividly told. From first to last nothing stays the 

 Interest of the narrative. It bears us along as on a jstream whose current 

 varies in direction, but never los-?s its force. 11 Saturday Review. 



In Freedom's Cause : A Story of Wallace and Bruce. ByG. A 

 HENTY. With full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 

 j^rno, cloth, price $1.00. 



In this story the author relates the stirring tale of the Scottish 

 War of Independence. The extraordinary valor 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 rood -urn 

 historians have shown, however, that he was a living, breath Lig 

 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. 



* It is written in the author's oest style. Full of the wildest and most re- 

 markable achievements, it is a tale of great interest, which a boy, once b ha* 

 begun it, will not willingly put on one side. "--The Schoolmaster
