the officers of the
army, and from a great number of custodians of records and special
information everywhere, both authors and publishers have received
every aid that could be asked in this undertaking; and in announcing
the issue of the work the publishers take this occasion to convey
the thanks which the authors have had individual opportunities to
express elsewhere.

The volumes of the series will be duodecimos of about 250 pages
each, illustrated by maps and plans prepared under the direction
of the authors. They will appear, as far as possible, in the
chronological order of the Campaigns of which they treat; and by
their preliminary and concluding chapters will be so far connected
that the completed work will practically cover the entire field of
the war.

The price of each volume will be $1.00.
