The third volume embraces, without abridgment, the fifth and sixth 

 volumes of the French edition, and covers one of the most interesting as 

 well as tbe most anxious periods of the war, describing the operations of the 

 Army of the Potomac in the East, and the Army of the Cumberland and 

 Tennessee in i he West. 



It contains full accounts of the battle of Chancellorsville, the attack of the 

 monitors on Fort Sumter, the sieges and fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson; 

 the battles of Port Gibson and Champion's Hill, and the fullest and most 

 authentic account of the battle of Gettysburg ever written. 



"The head of the Orleans family bas put pen to paper with excellent 



result Our present impression is that it will torm by far the best 



history of the American war." — Jthenwum, London. 



"We advise all Americans to read it carefully, and judge for themselves 

 if 'the future historian of our war,' of whom we have heard so much, be not 

 already arrived in the Comte de Paris."— Nation, New York. 



"This is incomparably the best account of our great second revolution 

 that has yet been even attempted. It is so calm, so dispassionate, so accurate 

 in detail, and at the same time so philosophical in general, that its reader 

 counts confidently on finding the complete work thoroughly satisfactory." — 

 Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia. 



"The work expresses the calm, deliberate judgment of an experienced 

 military observer and a highly intelligent man. Many of its statements 

 will excite discussion, but we much mistake if it does not take high and 

 permanent ranR among the standard histories of the civil war. Indeed 

 that place has been assigned it by the most competent critics both of this 

 country and abroad." — Times, Cincinnati. 



"Messrs. Porter & Coates, of Philadelphia, will publish in a few days the 

 authorized translation of the new volume of the Comte de Paris' History of 

 Our Civil War. The two volumes in French — the fifth and sixth — are bound 

 together in the translation in one volume. Our readers already know, 

 through a table of contents of these volumes, published in the cable columns 

 of the Herald, the period covered by this new installment of a work remark- 

 able in several ways. It includes the most important and decisive period of 

 tbe war, and the two great campaigns of Gettysburg and Vicksburg. 



"The great civil war has had no better, no abler historian than the French 

 prince who, emulating the example of Lafayette, took part in this new 

 struggle for freedom, and who now writes of events, in many of which he 

 participated, as an accomplished officer, and one who, by his independent 

 position, his high character and eminent talents, was placed in circum- 

 stances and relations which gave him almost unequalled opportunities to 

 gain correct information and form impartial judgments. 



"The new installment of a work which has already become a classic will 

 be read with incrnased interest by Americans hecause of the importance of 

 the period it covers and the stirring events it describes. In advance of a 

 careful review we present to-day some extracts from the advance sheets sent 

 us by Messrs. Porter & Coates, which will give our readers a foretaste of 

 chapters which bring back to memory so many half-forgotten and not a few 

 hitherto unvalued details of a time which Americana of this generation at 

 least cannot read of without a fresh thrill of excitement."
