NINETEENTH IMPRESSION, COMPLETING OVER 67,000 COPIES PRINTED.

THE GREAT BOER WAR.

BY A. CONAN DOYLE.

With Maps. Large post 8vo. 10_s._ _6d._

_Spectator._--'The conditions under which Dr. Conan Doyle's animated and
valuable record was written relieve it from the dangers of red-hot
impressionism.... When to these opportunities are added that manly
temper and command of forcible and picturesque language which have won
him distinction in the field of fiction, it is not to be wondered at
that the result should prove as engrossing as any of his novels.'

_Queen._--'Whatever histories of the war in South Africa are written,
Dr. Conan Doyle's "Great Boer War" must remain _the_ history.... The
book is marvellously exciting, admirably lucid, and scrupulously just.'

_Westminster Gazette._--'Mr. Conan Doyle may be congratulated very
heartily on having written, in the "Great Boer War," a book which will
delight and interest a wide circle of readers. Nowhere will the reader
obtain a truer or more graphic picture of the warfare of the kopje and
the veldt, nor of the difficulties which our generals had to overcome.
The book is also a marvel of conciseness.'

A VOLUNTEER'S EXPERIENCES IN THE BOER WAR.

THIRD IMPRESSION. With a Frontispiece. Crown 8vo. 6s.

IN THE RANKS OF THE C.I.V.:

A Narrative and Diary of Personal Experiences with the C.I.V. Battery
(Hon. Artillery Company) in South Africa. By 'DRIVER' ERSKINE CHILDERS,
Clerk in the House of Commons.

_Pall Mall Gazette._--'If we began to quote from this unpretentiously
vivid, brightly written, and in every way admirable record we should
never stop. As a description of life on campaign it could scarcely be
bettered.'

_Daily Telegraph._--'A most interesting and at times a most picturesque
diary.'

_Sketch._--'Mr. Childers writes with vigour and enthusiasm, and, what is
better, appears to thoroughly understand what he is writing about.'

_Punch._--'A series of unpremeditated pictures of campaign life
invaluable for their graphic touch.'
