COL. G. B. MALLESON. 

 Final French Struggles in India and on the Indian Seas. New 



Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



" How India escaped from the government of prefects and sub-prefects to fall under 

 that of commissioners and deputy-commissioners; why the Penal Code of Lord 

 Macaulay reigns supreme instead of a Code Napoleon ; why we are not looking on 

 helplessly from Mahe, Karikal, and Pondicherry, while the French are ruling all over 

 Madras, and spending millions of francs in attempting to cultivate the slopes of the 

 Neilgherries, may he learnt from this modest volume. Colonel Malleson is always 

 painstaking; his style is transparent, and he never loses sight of the purpose with 

 which he commenced to write." — Saturday Review. 



" A book dealing with such a period of our history in the East, besides being 

 interesting, contains many \eB,Bons."—Athenceutn. 



" Searching, yet easy, his pen goes with unflagging powerthrough the military wonders 

 of a hundred years, connectingthe accounts of battles by a sufScient historic thread." — 

 Academy. 



The Battle- Fields of Germany, from the Outbreak of the Thirty Years' 

 War to the Battle of Blenheim, with maps and one plan, demy 8vo, i6s. 

 " Colonel Malleson has shown a grasp of his subject, and a power of vivifying the 

 confused passages of battle, in which it would be impossible to name any living writer 

 as his equal. In imbuing these almost forgotten battle-fields with fresh interest and 

 reality for the English reader, he is re-openint: one of the most important chapters of 

 European History, which no previous English writer has made so interesting and 

 instructive as he has succeeded in doing in this volume." — Academy. 



Ambushes and Surprises, being a Description of some of the most 

 famous instances of the Leading into Ambush and the Surprises of 

 Armies, from the time of Hannibal to the period of the Indian Mutiny, 

 with a portrait of General Lord Mark Ker, K.C.B., demy 8vo, l8s. 



IRVING MONTAGU {late Special War Correspondent ''Illustrated 

 London News "). 

 Camp and Studio. Illustrated by the Author. New Edition. Crown 

 8vo, 6s. 



" Mr Irving Montagu's narrative of his experiences as war artist of the Illustrated 

 London News during- the Russo-Turkish war, though late in appearing, may be read 

 with interest. War correspondents and artists usually enjoy a fair share of adventure ; 

 but Mr Montagu appears to have revelled in dangers which seem anything but desir- 

 able when studied in cold blood. Mr Montagu has much that is interesting to tell 

 about the horrors of the siege of Kars and the prowess of the fair young Amazon who 

 commanded a troop of Bashi-Bazuks, and even seduced a Russian general to her side. 

 How he got to the front in spite of Russian prohibition, disguised as a camp follower, 

 how his portmanteau was shelled a few inches behind his back, what he risked and 

 what he saw in the memorable lines before Plevna, will be read with great interest. 

 The book is well illustrated by many vigorous sketches, some of which are exceedingly 

 humorous."— Athenceum. 



"A bright chatty record of wars, scenes, and adventures in various parts of the 

 world." — Echo. 



Wanderings of a War Artist. Illustrated by the Author. New- 

 Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



" Mr Montagu is to be congratulated on an eminently readable book, which, both 

 in style and matter, is above the average of productions in this kind." — The Momiwj 

 Post. 



" His own adventures are largely seasoned with stories of other people and anec- 

 dotes he picks up. He went through the second siege of Paris under the Commune, 

 and some of the best reading in the book is the picture he gives of the state of poor, 

 beautiful Paris, seen by the eye of an observing, impartial man, who has no object in 

 either exaggerating or under-colouring the work of the Commune."— T/ie Spectator. 



" The adventures of Mr Montagu are narrated with humour, and are seldom dull 

 reading." — Glasgow Herald.
