CHOLERA: HOW TO AVOID AND TREAT IT. Popular and Practical Notes. Crown 8vo.

Blume (Major William).

THE OPERATIONS OF THE GERMAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, from Sedan to the end of the war of 1870-71. With Map. From the Journals of the Head-quarters Staff, by B Major William Blume. Transl. by the late E. M. Jones, Maj. 20th Foot, Prof. of Mil. Hist., Sandhurst. Demy 8vo. 95.

"The work of Major von Blume in its English dress forms the most valuable addition to our stock of works upon 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.

Forming a volume of Henry S. King and Co.'s Series of Military Works.

The principal task here undertaken is to describe the peculiarities to be noticed in the late battles, and hence to draw conclusions for the tactics of the present day.

"We must, without delay, impress brain and forethought into the British Service; and we cannot commence the good work too soon, or better, than by placing the two books ("The Operations of the German Armies' and 'Tactical Deductions') we have here criticised in every military library, and introducing them as class-books in every tactical school."—United Service Gazette.

MIKE HOWE, THE BUSHRANGER OF VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. Crown 8vo. With a frontispiece. 5s. This story, although a work of fiction, is a narrative of facts as to the leading incidents of the Bushranger's career. The tale may therefore be regarded as a contribution to Colonial Literature.

"He illustrates the career of the bushranger half a century ago; and this he does in a highly creditable manner; his delineations of life in the bush are, to say the least, exquisite, and his representations of character are very marked.' -Edinburgh Courant.

"It supplies that which our own text-books give but imperfectly, viz., hints as to how a position can best be strengthened by means... of such extemporised intrenchments and batteries as can be thrown up by infantry in the space of four or five hours. . . deserves to become a standard military work." Standard.
