When the Century was Young, 



By M. M. BLAKE, Author of "The Siege of Norwich 

 Castle," " Toddleben's Hero," etc., with numerous- 

 Illustrations by the Authoress. 



In this story the hero and heroine are equally important. It is full 

 of incident, gives glimpses of the Peninsula war, takes us through France 

 in 1813-14, describes an English election of the period, while the inter- 

 est culminates in the battle of Waterloo. The hero takes his part in the 

 great fight, and is afterwards brought wounded to Brussels and laid in 

 the street with some 50,000 companions ; an evil position from which he 

 is bravely rescued by the heroine. 



Black and White says : " It is written with artistic regard to detail. 

 Miss Blake is among the few authors who can illustrate her own work. 

 Many of her line drawings are extremely happy." 



The Norwich- Mercury says : " Miss Blake is in this new story just 

 as vivid and as picturesque in her battle pieces as she was in her 

 previous tale." 



The Devon and Exeter Gazette says : " The book brings vivid! \ 

 to mind the conditions which existed in this country for some years- 

 before the battle of Waterloo, and the latter part is full of the martial 

 element which filled the public mind of that period." 



The Lord of Lowedale. 



By R. D. CHETWODE, Author of " The Marble City," 

 " The Fortune of Quittentuns." Illustrated by G. 

 GRENVILLE MANTON. 



The Morning says : " 'The Lord of Lowedale' is a tale of the six- 

 teenth century, with plenty of hard fighting and desperate adventure. 

 The saying that ' fortune favours the brave ' is illustrated in the rousing 

 story of the Count and his two valorous young friends." 



The North British Advertiser says : " The book is one which will 

 be read with avidity by youths. It is full, as stated, of hair-breadth 

 escapes ; and though the great historical scenes then enacted in France 

 are only incidentally alluded to, a fair reflex of the lawless state of the 

 country at that period of its history is given, If the remaining volumes 

 of the ' Fleur de Lys ' series prove as interesting as this first one, they 

 will assuredly form a very valuable addition to our book-shelves." 



The Dublin Freeman s Journal says : "There are many worse 

 and few better stories to while away the idle hours pleasantly, to visit 

 old times and strange scenes, and make new friends in the shining, 

 fairyland of fiction."
