Nelson and his Captains; Sketches of Famous Seamen. With 11 Portraits
and a Facsimile Letter. SECOND IMPRESSION. Crown 8vo. 6_s._
_PUNCH._--'My Baronite having read all Dr. Fitchett's tales of battles
on land, thinks his best piece is his sea piece.... Saxon and Celt

The Tale of the Great Mutiny. THIRD 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._--'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._
_SPECTATOR._--'"Fights for the Flag" is as good as "Deeds that Won the
Empire." To say more than this in praise of the book before us is
unnecessary, for "Deeds that Won the Empire" was one of the best
collection of popular battle studies ever given to the public.'
_REVIEW OF REVIEWS._--'As a gift-book, or as a book to take up and read
at odd moments, or to devour at a prolonged sitting, this book has few
equals, and will probably equal or eclipse the popularity of its
predecessors.'
Deeds that Won the Empire. SEVENTEENTH EDITION. With 16 Portraits and 11
Plans. Crown 8vo. 6_s._
_SPECTATOR._--'Not since Macaulay ceased to write has English literature
produced a writer capable of infusing such life and vigour into
historical scenes. The wholesome and manly tone of Mr. Fitchett's book
is specially satisfactory.... The book cannot but take the reader by
storm wherever it finds him.'
