THE 
FIFTEEN DECISIVE BATTLES 
OF THE WORLD, 
FROM MARATHON TO WATERLOO. 
By Professor (now Sir Edward) CREASY, Chief Justice of Ceylon. 
‘ It was a happy idea of Professor Creasy to select for military description those few battles 
which, in the words of Hallam, “A contrary event would have essentially varied the drama of 
the world in all its subsequent scenes.” The decisive features of the battles are well and clearly 
brought out; the reader’s mind is attracted to the world-wide importance of the event he is 
considering, while their succession carries him over the whole stream of European history.’ 
Spectator. 
Also, by the same writer, Sixth Edition, post 8vo. price 7s. 6d. 
THE EISE AND PEOGEESS 
OF 
THE ENGLISH CONSTITUTION 
A POPULAR ACCOUNT OF THE PRIMARY PRINCIPLES; 
THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENGLISH 
CONSTITUTION, AVOIDING ALL PARTY POLITICS. 
This book is well adapted to answer its purpose as a summary of constitutional history or 
an introduction to more elaborate works. Mr. Creasy exhibits originality of view, and presents 
his facts and opinions with clearness and in an attractive manner.’— Spectator. 
‘We are not aware of any book on the subject which could be so safely put into the hands of 
a student.’— Morning Chronicle.
