w field of Historical labor. A splendid volume, the result
of careful research, with the advantage of military experience.--_Geo.
Bancroft_.

It is an absolute necessity in our literature. No one can understand the
philosophy of the old War for Independence, until he has made a careful
and thoughtful perusal of this work.--_Benson J. Lossing_.

The maps are just splendid.--_Adj. Gen. W.L. Stryker, N.J._

The book is invaluable and should be in every library.--_Wm. L. Stone,
N.Y._

Of permanent standard authority.--_Gen. De Peister, N.Y._

Indicates such profound erudition and ability in the discussion as
leaves nothing to be desired.--_Sen. Oscar de La Fayette, Paris_.

I have read the volume with pleasure and profit.--_Z. Chandler_.

The volume is superb and will give the author enduring fame.--_B.
Gratz Brown, St. Louis_.

It should have a place in every gentleman's library, and is just the
book which young men of Great Britain and America should know by
heart.--_London Telegraph_.

The most impartial criticism on military affairs in this country which
the century has produced.--_Army and Navy Journal_.

Fills in a definite form that which has hitherto been a somewhat vague
period of military history.--_Col. Hamley, Pres., Queen's Staff
College, England_.

A valuable addition to my library at Knowlsy.--_Lord Derby, late Brit.
Sec. of State_.

A magnificent volume and a monument of national History.--_A. de
Rochambeau, Paris_.

A godsend after reading Washington Irving's not very satisfactory Life
of Washington.--_Sir Jos. Hooker, Pres., Royal Society, England_.

A book not only to be read, but to be studied.--_Harper's
Magazine_.

The author at all times maintains an attitude of judicial
impartiality.--_N.Y. Times_.

The record is accurate and impartial, and warrants the presumption that
the literature of the subject has been exhausted.--_The Nation_.

Will stand hereafter in the front rank of our most valuable historical
treasures.

The descriptions of battles are vivid. The actors seem to be alive, and
the actions real.--_Rev. Dr. Crane, N.J._

We are all indebted to you for the labor and expense of preparing this
volume, and I hope it will, in time, fully reimburse you.--_Gen. W.T.
Sherman_.
