<SPAN name="startofbook"></SPAN> <br/><br/> <h1> IN THE REIGN OF TERROR </h1> <h2> The Adventures of a Westminster Boy. </h2> <br/> <h3> by </h3> <h2> G. A. Henty </h2> <br/><br/><br/> <h3> PREFACE. </h3> <br/> <p>MY DEAR LADS,</p> <p>This time only a few words are needed, for the story speaks for itself. My object has been rather to tell you a tale of interest than to impart historical knowledge, for the facts of the dreadful time when "the terror" reigned supreme in France are well known to all educated lads. I need only say that such historical allusions as are necessary for the sequence of the story will be found correct, except that the Noyades at Nantes did not take place until a somewhat later period than is here assigned to them.</p> <p>Yours sincerely, <br/> G.A. HENTY.</p> <br/><br/><br/> <h2> CONTENTS </h2> <table ALIGN="center" WIDTH="80%"> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">I  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap01">A Journey to France</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">II  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap02">A Mad Dog</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">III  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap03">The Demon Wolf</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">IV  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap04">The Clouds Gather</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">V  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap05">The Outburst</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">VI  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap06">An Anxious Time</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">VII  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap07">The 2d of September</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">VIII  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap08">Marie Arrested</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">IX  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap09">Robespierre</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">X  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap10">Free</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">XI  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap11">Marie and Victor</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">XII  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap12">Nantes</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">XIII  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap13">In the Hands of the Reds</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">XIV  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap14">The Noyades</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">XV  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN href="#chap15">England</SPAN></td> </tr> </table> <br/><br/><br/> <SPAN name="chap01"></SPAN> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
