FREDERICK P. GIBBON
The Disputed V.C. Illustrated by Stanley L. Wood. 5s.
“A tale of the Great Mutiny which should stir a boy’s blood, and will tell him all he cares to know of that memorable death-struggle for our supremacy.... Even Lord Roberts scarcely gives a more spirited account of the defence of Delhi, of the difficulties to be overcome, and of the good service of the gallant little army which so long held stubbornly to the Ridge.”—Times.
A. J. CHURCH
Two Thousand Years Ago. Illustrated. 3s. 6d. New Edition.
Lucius Marius, a Roman boy, has a very chequered career, being now a captive in the hands of Spartacus, again an officer on board a vessel detailed for the suppression of the pirates, and anon a captive once more on a pirate ship. He escapes to Tarsus, is taken prisoner in the war with Mithridates, and detained in Pontus for a number of years.
“Adventures well worth the telling. The book is extremely entertaining as well as useful, and there is a wonderful freshness in the Roman scenes and characters.”—Times.
OLIPHANT SMEATON
A Mystery of the Pacific. Illustrated by Wal Paget. 3s. New Edition.
The Fitzroy, a small sailing vessel, discovers an extraordinary island in the South Seas, that has been hidden for ages behind a wide belt of sea-weed. The country is peopled by descendants of colonists from Imperial Rome, and by a yet older race who trace their origin to the long-lost Atlantis. In graphic language the author describes the strange experiences that befell the crew of the Fitzroy among these remarkable people.
