Ground—Saratoga—Maida—A Pyrenean Adventure—The Rivals.
"These volumes well sustain the reputation of their Author; being
full of the same vivid delineations which make his narrations
seem so actual; the same picturesque description, and the
same soldier-like spirit which embodies the best remains of
chivalry."—_Edinburgh Literary Gazette._
6. TALES of MILITARY LIFE. By the Author of the "Military Sketch-Book."
Containing Vandeleur and Gentleman Gray. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 31s. 6d.
"The military are bivouacked in the heart of society; they are
constantly in the centre of its gaieties; the sharers alike of
the joys and perils of life. Their progress is full of diversity,
and their adventures are equally tinged with the marvellous,
the pathetic, and the humorous. Our author has profited by his
opportunities, and seems as much at his ease among the Guerillas
and spoliated vineyards of Spain, as when he sketches the domestic
doings in the pleasant summer-quarters at Bath."—_Atlas._

MILDMAY. In 3 vols. post 8vo. 28s. 6d.
"This is the most seaman-like composition that has yet issued from
the press. We recommend it to all who 'live at home at ease,' and
need scarcely say that no man-of-war's man should remain an hour
without it."—_Atlas._
11. The NIGHT-WATCH, or TALES of the SEA. 2 vols. post 8vo. 18s.
