_Now ready. Eleventh Edition. Price 6s._ THE GREAT WAR IN ENGLAND IN 1897. BY WILLIAM LE QUEUX, F.R.G.S. _With Numerous Illustrations by T. S. Crowther and Captain C. Field, and Nine Military Maps._ * * * * * The Opinions of some Great Authorities. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, writing to the Author, says: "Such books cannot fail to have a good effect in inducing people to think more seriously of the necessity which lies upon the whole country to always be prepared, and to be more openhanded in giving money for the means of defence." FIELD MARSHAL LORD WOLSELEY says: "A pleasure to peruse it." THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY says: "It is very realistic and interesting." LORD GEORGE HAMILTON says: "It is very striking and original." SIR C. DILKE says: "I think it is most valuable as tending to make people realise how little we are prepared for war." * * * * * Opinions of the London Press. _The Times_ says: "Everything that can spice a sensational volume." _The Morning Post_ says: "Few works can compare in stirring incidents or careful elaboration of detail.... A great deal of what he forecasts would be very likely to occur if once England were in the clutches of a strong enemy, and in the matter of description wherein the tumult and carnage is brought vividly before the reader.... A clever and exciting book." _The Standard_ says: "Full of excitement and realism." _The Globe_ says: "It is vigorous and rousing.... Will do a public service." _The Sun_ says: "Mr. Le Queux' narrative is well and spiritedly written." _The Evening News_ says: "Mr. Le Queux has succeeded in a very difficult task. He has brought home to us the dangers we expose ourselves if we neglect to maintain our Army and Navy in an adequate state of efficiency." _The Daily Graphic_ says: "Various essays have been made to forecast the next great European war, but Mr. William Le Queux' volume is certainly the most comprehensive and thrilling of anything yet attempted. Regarded simply as a work of fiction, it is exciting enough to satisfy the most enthusiastic lover of 'blood and thunder' literature. In its more serious aspect--and it is this aspect, of course, which the author desires for it--this book certainly evidences serious thought.... It is all very graphic and very thrilling, especially the bombardment of London by the Russians, and the author has not scrupled to avail himself of the latest, even of the future, resources of science."
