WORKS BY W. H. FITCHETT, B.A., LL.D.
=Nelson and His Captains: Sketches of Famous Seamen.= With 11 Portraits
and a Facsimile Letter. Crown 8vo, 6_s._
_PUNCH._—‘My Baronite, having read all Dr. Fitchett’s tales
of battle on land, thinks his best piece is his sea piece....
Saxon and Celt reading the glowing narrative will feel proud to
know it’s all true.’
_ACADEMY._—‘A spirited picture of Nelson and his times.... The
story which the author has to tell is almost incredible in its
directness of detail, but certainly fascinating in its charm.’
=The Tale of the Great Mutiny.= SECOND IMPRESSION. With 8 Portraits and 4
Plans. Crown 8vo, 6_s._
_GUARDIAN._—‘It is almost impossible to lay the book down.
The Story of those summer months of 1857 must ever appeal to
English readers.’
_BOOKMAN._—‘Written with all the swing and dash, with all the
careful accuracy and brilliant descriptive power which have
made Dr. Fitchett’s books so deservedly popular.’
=How England Saved Europe: the Story of the Great War (1793-1815).=
SECOND IMPRESSION. In 4 vols., crown 8vo, with Portraits, Facsimiles, and
Plans, 6_s._ each.
_TIMES._—‘The story is broadly told, but very vigorously. It
is not without significance that this excellent “Story of the
Great War,” at once popular in the best sense, well-informed,
full of instruction, and very attractively written, should be
the work of a Colonial writer.’
_GUARDIAN._—‘Mr. Fitchett has achieved a real success, and the
boy who cannot read these volumes with pleasure (and profit)
is hopeless. They are, if boyhood would but see it, more
enthralling than half the novels published.’
=Fights for the Flag.= SECOND EDITION. With 16 Portraits, 13 Plans, and a
Facsimile Letter of the Duke of Marlborough. Crown 8vo, 6_s._
