  The United Service Journal
  AND
  NAVAL AND MILITARY MAGAZINE.


This new and interesting miscellany is regularly published by Messrs.
COLBURN AND BENTLEY every month, price 3s 6d. The following opinion
will at once demonstrate its claims on the attention of the public.

    "The United Service Journal is confessedly one of the best
    periodicals of its kind that have ever issued from the Public
    Press. No Monthly Journal has yet appeared so devotedly attached
    to the interests of the Army and Navy, or whose claims to the
    patronage of both services are so strikingly conspicuous. It is
    full of agreeable anecdote and useful information. In its pages we
    find a faithful and most interesting record of past achievements,
    whether on sea or land, diversified by many characteristic traits
    of British heroism, and national gallantry, from the lowest to
    the highest rank in the Service. New improvements in gunnery,
    navigation, and the art of War, are exposed to view with the
    commanding powers of a master hand, while no subject is omitted
    which could by possibility involve the honour and welfare of our
    Army and Navy. In fine, the Journal affords us a correct summary
    of all changes in the station of Regiments and Ships of the line,
    besides an authentic return of the Promotions in the Red and the
    Blue. Independently of the attractions it has for a military man,
    this periodical may be read with much pleasure by a civilian,
    and we feel much gratification in stating that it enjoys a very
    considerable patronage."—_Limerick Chronicle._
