 land, being a translation of the Swiss Narrative compiled from the works of the Archduke 

 Charles, Jomini, and others. Also of Notes by General H. Dufour on the Campaign of 

 the Vatteline in 1635. By Major-General Shadwell, C.B. With Appendix, 

 Maps, and Introductory Remarks.

 are in themselves full of interest ; but the special object of the volume is to attract the 

 attention of the young officers of our army to this branch of warfare, especially of those, 

 whose lot may hereafter be cast, and who may be called upon to take part in operations 

 against the Hill Tribes of our extensive Indian frontier.

 of the service is accurate and clear, and is full 1 Vincent's own account of the reconstruction, 

 of useful material for the considefation of those j under Milutin, of the Russian Army. Few books

" Deserves special attention. ... It is a good 

 and compact little work, and treats the whole 

 topic in a clear, intelligible, and rational way. 

 There is an interesting chapter styled " Historical 

 Retrospect," which very briefly traces all the main 



steps in the growth of the English army from the 

 tfme of the Anglo-Saxons. The writer is at great 

 pains to examine the real facts concerning enlist- 

 ment into the different branches of the army at 

 the present day." — If'esti>iinstcr Review.

" The volume is of somswhat too technical a 

 character to be recommended to the general

 that the book had been originally composed in

 student of the art of war, and no military hbrary 

 can be considered complete witliout it."— Horn: 



" In concluding our notice of this instructive 

 work, which, by the way, is enriched bj' several 

 large-scale maps, we must not withhold our tribute 

 of admiration at the manner in which the translator 

 has performed his task. So Uaoroughly, indeed,
