Noble Deeds of the World's Heroines

Henry Charles Moore (1862-1933) was an English author and journalist. He wrote a number of stories of adventure for boys, but will be best remembered as the author of Omnibuses and Cabs (1902), a work that must remain the standard history of the subject of road passenger transport. He was successively assistant editor of the Rangoon Gazette, Good Words, Sunday Magazine, and the Record. He was also for some years London correspondent of the Empress, of Calcutta. He published his first book in 1888 and he won a prize of 200 offered by Messrs. S. W. Partridge and Co. for a story published as The Dacoit's Treasure in 1897. Among his other works are Noble Deeds of the World's Heroines (1903), Marching to Ava: A Story of the First Burmese War (1904), Through Flood and Flame: Adventures and Perils of Protestant Heroes (1904) and Under Jellicoe's Command: A Story of the North Sea (1916).
