Sleeman, Charles William

of Japan, China, India, Persia, Italy, Russia, Austria, Germany,
France, and England. Accompanied by Letters descriptive of a Journey
from Japan to the Caucasus.
"His sketch of travel, though most unpretentious
in manner, is highly interesting as a preliminary
introduction to the very important results of this
military tour. The value of this work, particularly
as a book of reference, may be estimated from the
fact that it contains the results of a lengthened and
searching inquiry into matters connected with the great
armies of the world, which was conducted by officers of
proved ability and enjoying exceptional advantages....
It abounds in useful information, and may be studied
with no little advantage by those who wish to improve
their knowledge of the art of modern war."--_United
Service Gazette._
