This work is a popular account of the medals which have been awarded to the Navy and Army since their introduction in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. There are twelve chapters, which deal, in turn, with the various classes of medals; =fifty-nine illustrations from photographs=, depicting the most noteworthy specimens; and =four coloured plates= with representations of =sixty-one medal ribbons=. The letterpress not only describes the actual medals but gives data concerning the making of medals, the chief medallists, the regulations which affect the granting of medals, the circumstances which have influenced such awards, etc. Many Colonial medals and ribbons are described, and there is an interesting appendix which deals with the chief Foreign awards, with special reference to those issued to British officers and men by our Allies. SOME PRESS OPINIONS. “It is a first-class and very interesting book of reference.”—_The Guardian._ “This is a timely book, well compiled and excellently illustrated. Civilians are frequently puzzled to identify ribbons and medals of even recent origin, and how few have any knowledge of the hundreds of awards for service and gallantry, modern and historical, which exist in connection with the two Services. By means of Mr. Johnson’s compact volume they can learn all that a reasonably well-informed reader need know about these matters.... Most people will be glad to possess the volume, and for older boys it will prove an excellent gift book.”—_The Bookman._ “Altogether an invaluable _vade mecum_ on medals.”—_The Regiment._ A. & C.
