MILITARY BIOGRAPHIES. 



Messrs. CHAPMAN & HALL are pre- 

 paring for publication a Series of Volumes 

 dedicated to the Lives of Great Military 

 Commanders. 



The volumes are designed to form a set 

 of critical Biographies, illustrative of the 

 operations and the art of war, by writers of 

 distinction in the profession of arms, whose 

 competence to weigh the military qualities 

 and deeds of the Chiefs can be accepted. 

 Maps will, when necessary, accompany the 

 volumes, for the convenience of students. 



The aim of these volumes is to be both 

 popular and scientific, combining the nar- 

 rative of the most romantic and instructive 

 of human lives vv^ith a clear examination of 

 the genius of the soldier. 



'^FREDERICK THE GREAT," by 

 Col. C. B. Brackenbury, containing Maps, 

 is now ready, price 4s. 



'* MARSHAL LOUDON," by Col. 

 Malleson, C.S.I., will follow it; the two 

 Lives presenting the opposing aspects of 

 the Seven Years' War.
