HISTORY OF THE HORSE GUARDS, From 



1750 to 1872. By J. H. STOCQUELER. 1 vol. 8vo. 14s. 



"This book is useful and agreeably written, and capable of affording pleasure to 

 the non-military as well as to the military reader." Morning Post. 



"Mr. Stocqueler's volume has the merit of being readable, and contains a great 

 deal of information. In military circles especially the book will be popular." 

 Standard. 



" An excellent and most interesting History of the Horse-Guards; historical in 

 its facts, but intermixed with illustrative anecdotes, which by their raciuess and 

 vigour make it as interesting as a novel." United Service Mag. 



" Mr Ktocqueler possesses in an eminent degree all the requirements for the 

 production of a work of this kind. We can confidently recommend the ' History 

 of the Horse-Guards ' as a first-class service book, and one that should find a 

 niche in every garrison library." United Service Gazette. 



FREE RUSSIA. By W. HEPWORTH DIXON. Third 



Edition 2 vols. 8vo, with Coloured Illustrations. 30s. 



" Mr. Dixon's book will be certain not only to interest but to please its readers 

 and it deserves to do so. It contains a great deal that is worthy of attention, and 

 is likely to produce a very useful effect. The ignorance of the English people 

 with respect to Russia has long been so douse that we cannot avoid being grateful 

 to a writer who hsis taken the trouble to make personal acquaintance with that 

 seldom-visited land, and to bring before the eyes of his countrymen a picture of 

 its scenery and its people, which is so novel and interesting that it can scarcely 

 fail to arrest their attention." Saturday Rttnac. 



ANNALS OF OXFORD. By J. C. JEAFFRESOX, 



B.A., Oxon. SecoJid Edition. 2 vols. 8vo. 30s. 



"The pleasantest and most, informing book about Oxford that has ever been 

 written. Whilst these volumes will be eagerly perused by the sous of Alma Mater, 

 they will be read with scarcely less interest by the general reader." Post. 



"Those who turn to Mr. Jeaffreson's highly interesting work for solid informa- 

 tion or for amusement, will not be disappointed, llich in research and full of 

 antiquarian interest, these volumes abound in keen humour and well-bred wit. 

 A scholar-like fancy brightens every page. Mr. Jeaffrcson is a very model of a 

 cicerone; full of information, full of knowledge. The work well deserves to be 

 read, and merits a permanent niche in the library." The Graphic.

 by flood or field." /Mr* Life.

 Canada to fowling in Siberia; from Highland deer hunting to angling on the quiet

 niore's sporting feats are the themes of some of its best chapters." Daily News.
