HISTORICAL RECORD 



OF THE 



RO^TAI. MiLRINE FORCES, 



From their Formation to the Present Time, 



INCLUDING 



AN ACCOUNT OF THEIR SERVICES IN CHINA, 

 BY P. H. NICOLAS, 



LIEUT. ROYAL MARINES. 



" Mr. Nicolas has had a wide and fertile field to work upon, and excellently has he 

 turned his materials to account. Impelled by a sincere attachment for his old com- 

 rades, by an ardent desire for their welfare, by the very natural wish for a more minute 

 and connected narrative of their daring career than has hitherto been given to the 

 world, he has produced a luminous and comprehensive work, than which none can be 

 better of its class, and which reflects equal credit upon his feeUngs as an officer, and 

 bis talents as a writer." — United Service Gazette. 



" These volumes cannot fail to prove eminently acceptable to the members of the 

 gallant corps, whose honours they record, and generally indeed to the military service 

 of both arms." — Naval and Military Gazette. 



' It is historical, and must interest all historical readers ; it is proudly national, 

 and speaks to the heart of every Englishman ; while to tlie sailor, the soldier, and 

 especially the marine, whose services it chronicles, it will prove a valuable record. 

 It is a work, which for historical information, and clearness of arrangement, may 

 fairly compete with any of its class." — Literary Gazette.

A. BRITISH ARKZir, 



AS IT WAS,— IS,— AND OUGHT TO BE: 



ILLUSTRATED BY EXAMPLES DURING THE PENINSULAR WAR. 



With Observations vpon India — the United States of America — Canada — 

 the Boundary Line — the Navy — Steam Warfare, ^c. SfC. 



BY LIEUT.-COLONEL JAMES CAMPBELL, 

 Late Brigade-Major, 3rd Division, and formerly of the 45tli and 50th Regiments. 



" We may safely affirm, that few military men can rise from its perusal without 

 gratification and even benefit." — United Service Gazette. 



" Of very considerable merit, containing many suggestions which might be adopted 

 for the benefit of British Soldiers. The work contains much valuable information in- 

 teresting to every class of readers." — Woolwich Army Register. 



" We have in this volume much that deserves attention. The work cannot be pe- 

 : rused by his brother officers, without interest and instruction." — United Service Jour, 



" The author is a bold original thinker, and exercises his genius upon a subject which 

 has seldom been examined with so much fearless acuteness." — Atlas. 



''The Colonel was himself upon the staff of the third division, dui'ing the whole of 

 the Peninsular war, and was one of the Duke's real working and essential officers. 

 That the book is most practically useful, no military man can read and doubt."
