 devotion of a black servant and cf a runaway slave whom he had 

 assisted, bring him safely througu all difficulties.

By Rigb.t of Conquest ; or, With Cortez in Mexico. By G. A. 



KENTY. With full-page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY, and 



Two Maps. 12mo, cloth, price $1.50. 



The conquest of Mexico by a small band of resolute men undei 

 the magnificent leadership of Cortez is always rightly ranked 

 among the most romantic and daring exploits in history. With 

 this as the groundwork of his story Mr, Henty has interwoven the 

 adventures of an English youth, Roger Hawkshaw, the sole sur- 

 vivor of the good ship Swan, which had sailed from a Devon port 

 to challenge the mercantile supremacy o ! ' the Spaniards in the 

 New World. He is beset by many perils among the patives, but! 

 is saved by his own judgment and strength, and by the devotion 

 of an Aztec princes^. At last by a ruse he obtains the protection 

 of the Spaniards, and after the fall of Mexico he succeeds in re- 

 gaining his native shore, with a fortune and a charming Aztec 

 bride. 



" ' By Right of Conquest ' is the nearest approach to a perfectly {successful 

 historical tale that Mr. Henty has yet published. 1 ' Academy.
