Hosier (H. M.) continued. 



This account of the brief but momentous Austro- Prussian War of 1866 

 claims consideration as being the product of an eye-witness of some of its 

 most interesting incidents. The author has attempted to ascertain and 

 to advance facts. Two maps are given, one illustrating the opera- 

 tions of the Army of the Maine, and the other the operations from 

 Koniggrdtz. In the Prefatory Chapter to this edition, evcn'.s resulting 

 from the war of 1 866 are set forth, and the current of European history 

 traced down to the recent Franco- Prussian war, a natural consequence 

 of the war whose history is narrated in this "volume. "Mr. Hozier 

 added to tfie knowledge of military operations and of languages, which 

 he had proved himself to possess, a ready and skilful pen, and ex- 

 cellent faculties of observation and description. . . . All that Mr. 

 Hozier saw of the great events of the war and he saw a large share 

 of them he describes in clear and vivid language." SATURDAY 

 REVIEW. "Mr. Hozier 's volumes deserve to take a permanent place 

 in the literature of the Seven Weeks' 1 War. " PALL MALL GAZETTE. 



THE BRITISH. EXPEDITION TO ABYSSINIA. Compiled from 

 Authentic Documents. 8vo. qs. 



Several accounts of the British Expedition have been published. 

 They have, however, been written by those who have not had access to those 

 authentic documents, which cannot be collected directly after the termination 

 of a campaign. The endeavour of the author of this sketch has been tv 

 present to readers a succinct and impartial account of an enterprise which 

 has rarelv been equalled in the annals of war. " This" says the 

 SPECTATOR, " will be the account of the Abyssinian Expedition for 

 professional reference, if not for professional reading. Its literary 

 merits are really very great. "
