THE WAR OF 1870-1. By
Translated by Colonel Lumley
Uniform with

"Major Boguslawski's tactical deduc-
tions from the war are, that infantry still
preserve their superiority over cavalry,
that open order must henceforth be the
main principles of all drill, and that the
chassepot is the best of all small arms for
precision. 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.

THE ARMY OF THE NORTH-GERMAN CONFEDERATION. A Brief Description of its Organisation, of the different Branches of the Service and their Rôle' in War, of its Mode of Fighting, &c. By a Prussian General. Translated from the German by Col. Edward Newdigate. Demy 8vo. 55.

**The authorship of this book was erroneously ascribed to the renowned General vorr Moltke, but there can be little doubt that it was written under his immediate inspiration.

THE OPERATIONS OF THE GERMAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, FROM SEDAN TO THE END OF THE WAR OF 1870-1. With Large Official Map. From the Journals of the Head-quarters Staff, by Major Wm. Blume. Translated by E. M. Jones, Major 20th Foot, late Professor of Military History, Sandhurst. Demy 8vo. Price 95. "The book is of absolute necessity to the military student. The work is one of high merit."-United Service Gazette. "The work of translation has been well done. In notes, prefaces, and introductions, much additional information has been given."-Athenæum.

"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. Major Blume writes with a clear conciseness much wanting in many of his country's historians. 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.

THE OPERATIONS OF THE SOUTH ARMY IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, 1871. Compiled from the Official War Documents of the Head-quarters of the Southern Army. By Count Hermann Von Wartensleben, Colonel in the Prussian General Staff. Translated by Colonel C. H. Von Wright. Demy 8vo, with Maps. Uniform with the above. Price 6s.

HASTY INTRENCHMENTS. By Colonel A. Brialmont.
lated by Lieutenant Charles A. Empson, R.A.
Plates.

Price 6s.

"A valuable contribution to military literature."-Athenæum.

"In seven short chapters it gives plain directions for forming shelter - trenches, with the best method of carrying the necessary tools, and it offers practical illustrations of the use of hasty intrenchments on the field of battle."-United Service Magazine.

"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.

"Clearly and critically written."-Wellington Gazette.

STUDIES IN LEADING TROOPS. By Colonel Von Verdy Du Vernois. An authorised and accurate Translation by Lieutenant H. J. T. Hildyard, 71st Foot. Parts I. and II. Demy 8vo. Price 75.

**General BEAUCHAMP WALKER says
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 the war
than any but the most observant and for-

want

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 manoeuvres on a more extended scale."-Berlin, June, 1872.

THE SUBSTANTIVE SENIORITY ARMY LIST, Majors and Captains. By Captain F. B. P. White, 1st W. I. Regiment. 8vo, sewed. 2s. 6d.

CAVALRY FIELD DUTY. By Major-General Von Mirus. Translated by Captain Frank S. Russell, 14th (King's) Hussars. Crown 8vo, limp cloth. 7s. 6d.

** This is the text-book of instruction in the German cavalry, and comprises all the details connected with the military duties of cavalry soldiers on service. The translation is made from a new edition, which contains the modifications intro

duced consequent on the experiences of the late war. The great interest that students feel in all the German military methods, will, it is believed, render this book especially acceptable at the present time.
