Medals and Decorations of the British Army and Navy
By JOHN HORSLEY MAYO (_Late Assistant Military Secretary to the India
Office_).
Dedicated by Permission to Her Most Gracious Majesty VICTORIA,
QUEEN AND EMPRESS. With Fifty-five Plates Printed in Colours and
many Illustrations in the text.
_2 vols. Super-Royal 8vo. Over 600 pp. £3 3s. net._
"Of the manner in which the work has been carried out it
is impossible to speak except in terms of warm praise. The
medals and ribbons are beautifully reproduced. To produce
such a work, so beautifully illustrated, has necessitated
much expense and a corresponding price; but we can scarcely
imagine a barracks or a Queen's ship that will be long
without it."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"An exhaustive record, and it will be strange if the
inquirer searches its pages for information on a particular
medal or decoration and is disappointed."--_Scotsman._
"For beauty and fidelity the coloured reproductions of Army
and Navy medals and decorations surpass anything of the
kind we have ever seen."--_Daily News._
"One cannot too highly praise the numerous illustrations.
The letterpress, too, is extraordinarily full and
elaborate. Altogether the work is a mine of authoritative
information on its subject, and should abundantly satisfy
at once the military enthusiast and the specialist in
numismatics."--_Glasgow Herald._
"These two volumes appeal powerfully to all who cherish
the great patriotic traditions of the English race,
and their value for official reference is, moreover,
incontestable."--_Leeds Mercury._
