Lüshun (China) -- History -- Siege, 1904-1905; Russo-Japanese War, 1904-1905
By FIELD-MARSHAL VISCOUNT WOLSELEY, G.C.M.G. 2 vols. Demy 8vo. With
Portraits and Plans. Price 32/- net. 2nd Edition.
“The interest of Lord Wolseley’s admirably written book is at once
historical and practical. Regarded merely as a narrative of events,
it possesses immense value. We have here a vivid presentation at
first hand of the personal impressions of one whose experiences in
war are unsurpassed in what may be termed their intensity, while
on the point of variety they are literally unique in military
history.”--_Fortnightly Review._

studied by all military students.”--_Athenæum._
“Scholarly, profound, full of life and interest.... The chief
attraction of the volumes lies in the letters which make known to
us a soldier who united the loftiest daring with the most watchful
humanity and responsive affection, whose lofty ambition had no alloy
of selfishness and no taint of the feeling of rivalry.”--_Blackwood’s
Magazine._
