"We strongly recommend this 'Story of the Campaign' to all who would
gain a just comprehension of this tremendous struggle. Of this we are
perfectly sure, it is a book unlikely to be ever superseded. Its truth
is of that simple and startling character which is sure of an immortal
existence; nor is it paying the gallant author too high a complement to
class this masterpiece of military history with the most precious of
those classic records which have been bequeathed to us by the great
writers of antiquity who took part in the wars they have
described."--_The Press._
_THE INVASION OF THE CRIMEA_:
Its Origin, and Account of its Progress down to the Death of Lord
Raglan. By ALEXANDER WILLIAM KINGLAKE, M.P. Vols. I. and II.,

_TEN YEARS OF IMPERIALISM IN FRANCE._
Impressions of a "Flâneur." Second Edition. In 8vo, price 9s.
"There has not been published for many a day a more remarkable book on
France than this, which professes to be the impressions of a Flaneur....
It has all the liveliness and sparkle of a work written only for
amusement; it has all the solidity and weight of a State paper; and we
expect for it not a little political influence as a fair, full, and
masterly statement of the Imperial policy--the first and only good
account that has been given to Europe of the Napoleonic system now in
force."--_Times._
