_THE ATHENÆUM says_:--
"Captain Guggisberg traces the history with considerable
minuteness.... Illustrations specially good and well chosen; indeed,
author and publishers may both be congratulated."
_THE UNITED SERVICE GAZETTE says_:--
"This admirable history of the Royal Military Academy will be very
welcome.... Even the reader who has not the honour of belonging to
either of the ordnance corps will find the book most interesting
reading.... Finally, the illustrations alone would render the book
very valuable."
_THE MORNING POST says_:--
"The illustrations generally are excellent, the history has been
compiled with judgment, and the book will be found attractive even
outside the famous corps whose nursery it depicts."
_NAVY AND ARMY says_:--
"A most entertaining and instructive account.... He tells the later
story of the Academy in much detail and in a very interesting
manner.... Illustrated by excellent photographs.... The coloured
illustrations are very good, and the whole book is attractively got
up."
_THE DAILY NEWS says_:--
"A very readable history.... The Asmodeus who takes us behind the
scenes of the Academy is an interesting guide, and by the time we have
read his pages, which, by the way, are very well illustrated, we have
got an excellent idea of the life of the Woolwich cadet."
_From "Proceedings of the R.A. Institution"_:--
"The story of 'The Shop' has been admirably told in the smart little
volume ... told clearly and succinctly. All important events are
mentioned, yet none are over accentuated; and the book from start to
finish is most readable and interesting.... Admirably got up. Paper,
printing, illustrations, and binding are all as good as possible."
