_The Outlook._--"No one interested in the contemporary condition or in the future amelioration of the British Army can neglect such a book as this, for it affords a remarkable glimpse of military life at the very bottom of the ladder. It is, moreover, both lucid and temperate." _The World._--"Gives one a very good notion of the soldier's life at Aldershot, the Curragh, or Gib.--cleaning, drilling, feeding, mounting guard--a life which is so like that of the ordinary housemaid, until the guns begin to shoot. The private's grievances are set forth moderately and convincingly. Mr. Wyndham's book, giving the soldier's view, should point the way to those whose pressing duty it is to make military service more popular." _The Nottingham Guardian._--"Mr. Wyndham is gifted with no inconsiderable power of observation, and writes in a style at once forcible and agreeable. He gives remarkably graphic pictures of life in barracks and in camp, and criticises with the freedom of one who has made the subject a speciality." LONDON: WM. HEINEMANN, 21 BEDFORD ST., W.C. MEMOIRS OF SERGEANT BOURGOGNE (1812-1813) AUTHORISED TRANSLATION, FROM THE FRENCH ORIGINAL EDITED BY PAUL COTTIN AND MAURICE HÉNAULT With a Frontispiece. 8vo, cloth. Price 6s. _The Review of Reviews._--"All imaginative pictures drawn by authors in an attempt to depict war as it really is sink into insignificance beside this actual record of a soldier's daily experience in the rearguard of the Army of Moscow. The Peace Societies could desire no more effective literature, and, if they are wise, will do all they can to promote the sale of this book." _The Times._--"A vivid narrative of Napoleon's ill-starred Russian campaign as viewed from the ranks. Bourgogne was a shrewd soldier, imbued with the national worship of Napoleon, experienced in the wars of the Empire, and endowed with a rare narrative power. The dramatic and tragic incidents with which his pages abound are full of attraction." _The Pall Mall Gazette._--"Bourgogne is, so to speak, the small-change for De Ségur--the vernacular of that classic. The Brigadier-General on the Staff tells you what the retreat from Moscow looked like. The Sergeant of the Guard was in a position to tell you what it felt like. Moreover, the Sergeant happens to be an impressionist of the convincing sort. He not only makes you see what he saw, but he perfectly persuades you that he saw it. So it is that the true inwardness of the ghastly _débacle_ is shown up to you with a new vividness by the ingenuous sidelights this literary non-com. has cast upon it." _The Morning Post._--"These Memoirs are well written, full of interest, and abound in dramatic situations. They have, moreover, the recommendation of being admirably rendered into English, and read almost like an English work."
