_Demy 8vo. With Portraits._ =12s. 6d. net.= The phrase ‘a charmed life’ is hackneyed, but it may be used with peculiar appropriateness to describe Colonel Robertson’s military career. ‘The history of my nose alone,’ says the cheery old soldier in his Preface, ‘would fill a chapter,’ and, indeed, not only his nose, but his whole body, seem to have spent their time in, at all events, running a risk of being seriously damaged in every possible way. The book, in fact, is simply full of fine confused fighting and hair-breadth escapes. Joining the 31st Regiment in 1842, Colonel Robertson took part in the Sutlej Campaign from Moodkee to Sobraon. He was in the Crimea, and throughout the Mutiny he commanded a regiment of Light Cavalry, doing repeatedly the most gallant service. The incidents of life in Ireland and the Ionian Islands during the intervals of peace are worthy of ‘Charles O’Malley,’ and are described with something of Lever’s raciness of touch. * * * * * THE AFTERMATH OF WAR. An Account of the Repatriation of Boers and Natives in the Orange River Colony. By G. B. BEAK. _Demy 8vo. With Illustrations and Map._ =12s. 6d. net.= The author, after serving nearly two and a half years in the South African War, was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Orange River Colony Repatriation Department, and subsequently Assistant Director of Relief under the Government. His information is thus not only first-hand but unique. The book is illustrated with some extremely interesting photographs. ‘The book is sure to become a standard work, for it throws a flood of light upon and solves many of the knotty questions of that period which have agitated men’s minds at home and abroad.’--_Daily Telegraph._ * * * * * PATROLLERS OF PALESTINE. By the REV. HASKETT SMITH, M.A., F.R.G.S. EDITOR OF ‘MURRAY’S HANDBOOK TO SYRIA AND PALESTINE,’ 1902; _Large crown 8vo. With Illustrations._ =10s. 6d.= The late Mr. Haskett Smith was a well-known authority on the Holy Land, and in this book he personally conducts a typical party of English tourists to some of the more important sites hallowed by tradition. ‘The reader is not only charmed by the pleasant experiences and the interesting discussions of the pilgrims, but at the same time he acquires a great deal of information which would otherwise have to be sought in a combination of cyclopædia, “Speaker’s Commentary,” and guide-book.’--_Tribune._ * * * * * POLITICAL CARICATURES, 1906.
