CRITICAL NOTICES. 



" Such a book has a national interest, and should have been brought out at the 

 public expense. Though this has not been done, a copy wi'l doubtless find its way 

 into every regimental library, for it is a common record of glory, in which every 

 regiment is enrolled." 



" We cannot estimate the good -which may be effected by its pages; for soldiers 

 will be inspired to emulate the deeds which they see so perpetuated, and which our 

 medals embellish. The book is particularly suited for this object, as it contains no 

 strictures on authority, or anything to awaken bad feelings. At the same time, it 

 will serve as an admirable manual for officers who wish to have a knowledge of our 

 military history, which is here brought into a nutshell, though no deed of note is 

 omitted." United Service Magazine. 



" The handsome book before us is one Muster Roll of England's brave men." 

 London Rei:i(>ir. 



' The illustrations are particularly -well done, and we may say of the work gene- 

 rally that it is worthy of the subject." Russell's Army and Navy Gazette. 



"We must here state that an interesting and officially accurate description of 

 each battle, etc., as well as a description of the medals, is given in each case ; and 

 the pages of the work are adorned by beautifully executed chrome-lithographs of 

 the medals, clasps, ribbons, etc. The fact of Mr. Carter's position in the military 

 executive branch of tae War Department, and thn sanctioned dedications of the 

 several divisions of the work to the late Duke of Richmond, General Lord Clyde, 

 and the Adjutant-General, must greatly add to its value as a book of reference, and 

 as authority upon the subject treated." The Art Journal. 



The Illustrations include the several Medals issued to the Army, from the earliest 

 one granted for Cromwell's victory of Dunbar to the most recent for the Indian 

 Mutiny and Services in China. Fac-similes of the Medals and Ribbons in colours, 

 gold, silver, and bronze, are also given of those conferred upon our troops for the 

 Crimean campaign by the Emperor of the French, King of Sardinia, and the Sultan 

 of Turkey, together with the VICTOKIA CROSS. The names and deeds of the Re- 

 cipients are embodied in the Text.
