History of the War "with Mexico, from the com- 

 mencement of hostilities with the United States, to the 

 ratification of Peace; embracing detailed accounts of the 

 brilliant achievements of Generals Taylor, Scott, Worth, 

 Wool, T^Yiggs, Kearney, and others; by John S. Jenkins, 

 8vo., 20 illustrations, morocco gilt $2,50. 



A History of the late war prepared for popular circulation. The writer takes a 

 patriotic view of his subject. His narrative of the commencement of the war would, 

 we presume, not displease Mr. Polk. He follows the campaign throughout with 

 industry and spirit, drawing from public documents, diplomatic correspondence, and 

 the new.-^paper letter writers by the way. More facts, we believe, are brought 

 to'ieiher th.in in any single publication of the kind. The narratives of adventure in 

 California, Col. Doniphan's march, and other passages, are told with interest; the 

 writer evidently seeking to make a useful book. The portraits and illustrations of 

 .scenes are numerous ; the mechanical execution of the whole work being highly 

 creditable to the Auburn pubUshera.— Literary Woild. 



This is a volume of over 500 pages. The publishers have brought it out in excel- 

 lent style. The paper, type, priming and binding, are admirable. The book has 

 been written with due regard to accuracy, and in a popular style. It is the most 

 elaborate, and probably the best History of the War yet published.— ilZftany 

 Evening Journal. 



We have been unable to notice, until now, this new work from the pen of the 

 author of " The Generals of the last War with Great Britain, etc." In this volume 

 we have at last a complete and interesting history of the late collision between the 

 two Republics of the Continent. To a minute and detailed account of the position 

 and policy of Mexico, the origin and causes of War, are added soul-stirring descrip- 

 tions of the brilliant and successful engagements of our army with the enemy. This 

 narrative is written after a careful examination of the diplomatic correspondence 

 and the various publications, of a public or private character, that have appeared 

 from time to time, calculated to throw light on the subject. To render the work 

 still more interesting and desirable, it has been illustrated with portraits of the most 

 distinguished officers of our own and the Mexican army, with views of the ever 

 memorable battle-fields of Buena Visia and Cerro Gordo. The reputation of the 

 author will insure for this history a very general circulation.— .4i6any Atlas.
