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 will 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 bravest men." — London "Review, 



"The illustrations are particularly well done, and we may say of the work generally that it is 

 worthy of the subject." — Russell's Army and Navy Gazette. 



" We must here state diat 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 chromo-lithographs of the medals, clasps, ribbons, etc. The fact of Mr. 

 Carter's position in the military executive branch of the War Department, and the sanctioned dedi- 

 cations of the several divisions of the work to the late Duke of Kichmond, 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 Kibbons 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 Sar- 

 dinia, and the Sultan of Turkey, together with the Victobia Cboss.— The names and deeds of the 

 Recipients are embodied in the Text.
