BY LOUIS RELLSTAB. 



One Large Volume, with Engravings. Price Fifty Cent*. 



The following Notices have already been elicited for the work : 



* » * We hold "1812" the best novel of its claPS that has for a longtime 

 appeared in the German language. It is a master-piece. Its historical and mili- 

 tary chapters would, by iheir fidelity and spirit, give il high rank in whatever 

 tongue it had been written. — Blackwood, Aug. iV'o.r 1848. 



The campaign of 1812 is fraught with materials for the most slirring produc- 

 tions, and the mine has been wrought to the grenteat advantage by the writing 

 literati of Germany. The historical romance of Mr. Rellstab is the best of the 

 many excellent works that have flowed from the German pen. — Knick. Mag. 



In depicting a battle, the author is at home. The reader almost hears the 

 whizzing of the round shot, and sees the thick canopy of smoke that hangs over 

 the batteries. He catches the very spiiit of the action, as much as if he was about 

 to gallop on the foe with I\Iuiat, or charge in column under the terrible lead of 

 Davoust. — Philadelphia Sat Gaz. 



The naked history of that terrible Russian campaign transcends in horrors any 

 effort of the imagination ; but in this the real and the ideal are happily blended, 

 and we regard it as a valuable contribution to our popular literature — Tribune. 



We can strongly recommend the book, which is well translated, another rare 

 virtue among the cheap reprints. — Buffalo Gaz. 



A work to which " Blackwood" consents to give its sanction must be worthy 

 the reader's attention, and we can add our own testimony to that of" Old Ebony " 

 in favor of its excellence, as a finely-drawn and beautifully colored picture of the 

 stirring scenes among which its characters are thrown. — Buffalo Courier. 



Without the minuteness of Lever, the author has given sufficient glimpses of 

 camp-life to fix the attention of readers, and has been careful to cling closely to 

 historic truth, which cannot always he said of " Ilnrry Lorrequer." — Washington 

 Intelligencer. 



The subject and manner in which it is treated, render this novel one of tire 

 most intensely fascinating, we have read during a long period. — Utica Observer. 



The translation, we venture to say, is faiihful, and preserves the spirit of the 

 original. From the opening chapter the mind of a genius speaks from its pages, 

 — Jersey City Gaz. 



This book, will be found an intelleetaa! treat. It is the production of a mind 

 imbued with its subject — of an author who (larticipated in the events of that un- 

 paralleled campaign, and it must have taken weeks and months of careful com- 

 position. — Boston Fust. 



The American public are indebted to the enterprising publishers for this exqui- 

 site repast they have served up at so cheap a rate. — Louisville Journal.
