=Our Redcoats and Bluejackets: War= Pictures on Land and Sea.
Forming a Continuous Narrative of the Naval and Military History
of England from the year 1793 to the Present Time, including the
Afghan and Zulu Campaigns, Interspersed with Anecdotes and Accounts
of Personal Service. By HENRY STEWART, Author of “The Ocean Wave,”
etc. With a Chronological List of England’s Naval and Military
Engagements.
“A capital collection of graphic sketches of plucky and brilliant
achievements afloat and ashore, and has, moreover, the advantage of
being a succinct narrative of historical events. It is, in fact,
the naval and military history of England told in a series of
effective tableaux.”—_World._
“It is not a mere collection of scraps and anecdotes about our
soldiers and sailors, but a history of their principal achievements
since the beginning of the war in 1793. The book has charms for
others than lads.”—_Scotsman._
“Besides being a work of thrilling interest as a mere story-book,
it will also be most valuable as a historical work for the young,
who are far more likely to remember such interesting historical
pictures than the dry lists of dates and battles which they find in
their school-books.... Possesses such a genuine interest as no work
of fiction could surpass.”—_Aberdeen Journal._

for presents, Mr. Hogg holds a high place. A catalogue of his
publications, samples of which lie before us, contains a number of
useful and interesting works eminently suitable for presentation to
young people of both sexes, and they contain as much reading at as
low a price as any books in the market._”—PALL MALL GAZETTE.
