Nelson and his Captains; Sketches of Famous Seamen. With 11 Portraits and a Facsimile Letter. SECOND IMPRESSION. Crown 8vo. 6_s._

_PUNCH._--'My Baronite having read all Dr. Fitchett's tales of battles on land, thinks his best piece is his sea piece.... Saxon and Celt reading the glowing narrative will feel proud to know it's all true.'

The Tale of the Great Mutiny. THIRD IMPRESSION. With 8 Portraits and 4 Plans. Crown 8vo. 6_s._

_GUARDIAN._--'It is almost impossible to lay the book down. The story of those summer months of 1857 must ever appeal to English readers.'

_BOOKMAN._--'Written with all the swing and dash, with all the careful accuracy and brilliant descriptive power which have made Dr. Fitchett's books so deservedly popular.'

How England Saved Europe: the Story of the Great War (1793-1815). SECOND IMPRESSION. In 4 vols. crown 8vo. with Portraits, Facsimiles, and Plans, 6_s._ each.

_TIMES._--'It is not without significance that this excellent "Story of the Great War," at once popular in the best sense, well informed, full of instruction, and very attractively written, should be the work of a Colonial writer.'

_GUARDIAN._--'Mr. Fitchett has achieved a real success, and the boy who cannot read these volumes with pleasure (and profit) is hopeless. They are, if boyhood would but see it, more enthralling than half the novels published.'

Fights for the Flag. SECOND EDITION. With 16 Portraits, 13 Plans, and a Facsimile Letter of the Duke of Marlborough. Crown 8vo. 6_s._

_SPECTATOR._--'"Fights for the Flag" is as good as "Deeds that Won the Empire." To say more than this in praise of the book before us is unnecessary, for "Deeds that Won the Empire" was one of the best collection of popular battle studies ever given to the public.'

_REVIEW OF REVIEWS._--'As a gift-book, or as a book to take up and read at odd moments, or to devour at a prolonged sitting, this book has few equals, and will probably equal or eclipse the popularity of its predecessors.'

Deeds that Won the Empire. SEVENTEENTH EDITION. With 16 Portraits and 11 Plans. Crown 8vo. 6_s._

_SPECTATOR._--'Not since Macaulay ceased to write has English literature produced a writer capable of infusing such life and vigour into historical scenes. The wholesome and manly tone of Mr. Fitchett's book is specially satisfactory.... The book cannot but take the reader by storm wherever it finds him.'

_TIMES._--'"Deeds that Won the Empire" is admirably conceived and written. Wolfe's striking feat of arms at Quebec, Hawke's splendid victory in Quiberon Bay, Busaco, Albuera, the Nile, the action of the _Shannon_ and _Chesapeake_, with other memorable fights by sea and land, are vividly described. Mr. Fitchett has not sacrificed historical accuracy to dramatic effect, and his words ring true.'

Wellington's Men: some Soldier-Autobiographies. ['Kincaid's Adventures in the Rifle Brigade'; 'Rifleman Harris'; Anton's 'Military Life'; Mercer's 'Waterloo.'] Edited by W. H. FITCHETT, B.A., LL.D. Crown 8vo.

6_s._

_SPECTATOR._--'Mr. Fitchett has ere this sounded the clarion and filled the fife to good purpose, but he has never done better work than in rescuing from oblivion the narratives which appear in this volume.... We feel very grateful to Mr. Fitchett for his skilful editing of four stories which ought not to be allowed to die.'

London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place, S.W.

'Unquestionably the most striking book the War has produced. A masterly piece of work, a real contribution to historical writing.'--_Sketch._

_THOROUGHLY REVISED, ENLARGED, AND COMPLETED EDITION._

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.'

London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place, S.W.

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.'

London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place, S.W.

With Portraits of Piet De Wet and of a Group of Convalescents.

YEOMAN SERVICE:

Being the Diary of the Wife of an Imperial Yeomanry Officer during the Boer War.

By the Lady MAUD ROLLESTON. Large crown 8vo. _7s._ _6d._

_Spectator._--'A very fascinating book.... We say to our readers without the slightest fear of misleading them--"get the book and read it."'

_World._--'None of the mult.i.tudinous war books surpa.s.s this one in attraction--few approach it. The services rendered by the writer are well known; her experiences, recorded here in a simple and lucid form, are full of human interest, general and particular.'

_Athenaeum._--'Lady Maud Rolleston has written the best woman's book about the war. She does not show partiality ... indeed, appears to be gifted with unusual fairness.... On the whole we have nothing but praise for the book.'

London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place, S.W.
