                          SOME PRESS OPINIONS

                          VOLUMES I. and II.

_ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW._—“Mr. Fortescue has been the first to
construct a scholarly and connected story of the growth of our military
institutions and of the development of tactics as revealed in a
continuous series of wars. His style is lucid, and his descriptions of
battles are easy to follow. But his chief merit is a well-balanced
judgment.”

                              VOLUME III.

_TIMES._—“Whatever Mr. Fortescue may do in the future, he has already,
in his first three volumes, produced one of the most important military
works in the English language. It is sincerely to be hoped that they
will be read as widely as they deserve to be.”

                              VOLUME IV.

_TIMES._—“We are witnessing the birth of a military classic which is,
and will be for some generations to come, without a peer in the subject
to which it relates. The debt which the British Army owes to the writer
of this moving chronicle of its great achievements, its grandeurs, and
its miseries can only be repaid if every member of the Army endeavours
to assimilate for himself, and for the profit of his country, Mr.
Fortescue’s admirable and most instructive pages.”

                          VOLUMES V. and VI.

_SPECTATOR._—“The new volumes of _A History of the British Army_ are of
the same high quality as those which have gone before. We can give no
higher praise, for Mr. Fortescue can only be compared with himself. He
has no rivals as a student of military history, and we question whether
he has any living superior as an historian.”

                              VOLUME VII.

_BROAD ARROW._—“This is a worthy successor to the volumes which have
preceded it, and the whole forms a great work by a great, an impartial,
and a bold writer.”
