"_Several accounts of the British Expedition have been published....
They have, however, been written by those who have not had access to
those authentic documents, which cannot be collected directly after
the termination of a campaign.... The endeavour of the author of this
sketch has been to present to readers a succinct and impartial account
of an enterprise which has rarely been equalled in the annals of
war._"--PREFACE.
Irving.--THE ANNALS OF OUR TIME. A Diurnal of Events, Social and
Political, which have happened in or had relation to the Kingdom of
Great Britain, from the Accession of Queen Victoria to the Opening of
the present Parliament. By JOSEPH IRVING. 8vo. half-bound.
18_s._
"_We have before us a trusty and ready guide to the events of
the past thirty years, available equally for the statesman, the
politician, the public writer, and the general reader. If Mr. Irving's
object has been to bring before the reader all the most noteworthy
occurrences which have happened since the beginning of Her Majesty's
reign, he may justly claim the credit of having done so most briefly,
succinctly, and simply, and in such a manner, too, as to furnish him
with the details necessary in each case to comprehend the event of
which he is in search in an intelligent manner. Reflection will serve
to show the great value of such a work as this to the journalist
and statesman, and indeed to every one who feels an interest in the
progress of the age; and we may add that its value is considerably
increased by the addition of that most important of all appendices, an
accurate and instructive index._"--TIMES.
