the war that our press has put forth. Our space forbids our doing more than commending it earnestly as the most authentic and instructive narrative of the second section of the war that has yet appeared."-Saturday Review.

*General BEAUCHAMP WALKER says

want

of this work :-"I recommend the first
two numbers of Colonel von Verdy's
'Studies' to the attentive perusal of my
brother officers. They supply a
which I have often felt during my service
in this country, namely, a minuter tactical
detail of the minor operations of war
than any but the most observant and for-

tunately-placed staff-officer is in a position to give. I have read and re-read them very carefully, I hope with profit, certainly with great interest, and believe that practice, in the sense of these 'Studies,' would be a valuable preparation for manœuvres on a more extended scale."-Berlin, June, 1872.
