CAMPAIGNS OF A WAR 

 CORRESPONDENT. 



By MELTON PRIOR. 



Illustrated from the Author's Sketches. One Volume. Demy 8vo. 



15s. net. 



The late Melton Prior was undoubtedly the most experienced as 

 well as one of the most gifted artist war correspondents of his 

 time. He represented the Illustrated London News in the field for 

 many years, until, in fact, the conditions of campaigning had altered 

 to an extent that must inevitably affect the whole future of the 

 fascinating but dangerous work of the artist in the firing line. In 

 the thirty years of Melton Prior's active service he made voluminous 

 notes, and some two years before his death asked Mr. S. L. Bensusan 

 to look through his Reminiscences with a view to editing the work. 

 Before the precise lines of the work could be determined Mr. Prior 

 died, but at the request of his widow Mr. Bensusan has edited the 

 story of the campaigns. The narrative, full of intimate and personal 

 touches and pictures of great men, will be illustrated by a selection 

 from Prior's own drawings and sketches. No work of the same 

 scope has yet been offered to the reading public. The campaigns 

 cover a period of over thirty years, from 1873 ^^ i9<^5> ^.nd include 

 the Ashanti War, the Russo-Turkish War, the Kaffir and Zulu 

 Wars, the Boer War of 1881, the Egyptian Campaign (1882), the 

 Nile Expedition, the Burmese Campaign, the Jameson Raid, the 

 Afridi Campaign (1897), the Transvaal War, Somaliland, and the 

 Russo-Japanese War.
