By Major VON SCHELL, with Maps, including one of Metz and of the country around. Translated by Capt. E. O. HOLLIST. In demy 8vo. [In preparation. The most important events described in this work are the battles of Spichern, those before Metz on the 14th and 18th August, and (on this point nothing authentic has yet been published the history of the investment of Metz (battle of Noisseville). This work, however, possesses a greater importance than that derived from these points, because it represents for the first time from the official documents the generalship of Von Steinmetz. Hitherto we have had no exact reports on the deeds and motives of this celebrated general. This work has the special object of unfolding carefully the relations in which the commander of the First Army acted, the plan of operations which he drew up, and the manner in which he carried it out.

VON BOGUSLAWSKI. Translated by Colonel LUMLEY GRAHAM, late 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment. Demy 8vo. Uniform with the above. Price 78. Major Boguslawski's tactical deductions 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.'

The work of translation has been well done; the expressive German idioms have been rendered into clear nervous English without losing any of their original force; and 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, and Major Jones has done himself and his original alike justice by his vigorous yet correct translation of the excellent volume on which he has laboured. 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, XV THE OPERATIONS OF THE SOUTH ARMY in JANUARY and FEBRUARY 1871.

'It supplies that which our own text-books give but imperfectly, viz. hints as to how a position can be best strengthened by means of such extem porised 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.'

EDWARD NEWDIGATE. Demy 8vo. 58.

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 introduced 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. XIX STUDIES IN LEADING TROOPS. By Col. VON VERDY DU VERNOIS. An authorised and accurate Translation by Lieutenant H. J. T. HILDYARD, 71st Foot. Parts I. and II. Demy Svo. 78. [Now ready. * Gen. 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 want which I have cften 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 fortunately 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.'

It is a publisher's as well as an author's "hit," for it supplies a want which few persons may have discovered, but which everybody will at once recognise when once the contents of the book have been mastered.
