IN THE REIGN OF TERROR

The Adventures of a Westminster Boy.

PREFACE.

MY DEAR LADS,

This time only a few words are needed, for the story speaks foritself. My object has been rather to tell you a tale of interestthan to impart historical knowledge, for the facts of the dreadfultime when "the terror" reigned supreme in France are well known toall educated lads. I need only say that such historical allusions asare necessary for the sequence of the story will be found correct,except that the Noyades at Nantes did not take place until a somewhatlater period than is here assigned to them.

Yours sincerely,
G.A. HENTY.
