preserved."--_President Andrew D. White, LL.D._

story."--_N.Y. Tribune._
THE CONSCRIPT. A Tale of the French War of 1813. With four full-page

that part of history which historians hardly write, concerning
the disaster, the ruin, the sickness, the poverty, and the utter
misery and suffering which war brings upon the
people."--_Cincinnati Daily Commercial._
WATERLOO. A Story of the Hundred Days. Being a Sequel to "The

have been published."--_New York Daily Herald._

Events in connection with the great Franco-Prussian War of 1871.
THE BLOCKADE OF PHALSBURG. An Episode of the Fall of the First French
Empire. With four full-page illustrations and a portrait of the
authors.

pleasant, well-constructed plot, serving in each case to connect
the great events which they so graphically treat, and the style
being as vigorous and charming as it is pure and
refreshing."--_Philadelphia Daily Inquirer._
INVASION OF FRANCE IN 1814. With the Night March past Phalsburg. With
a Memoir of the Authors. With four full-page illustrations.
"All their novels are noted for the same admirable
qualities--simple and effective realism of plot, incident and
language, and a disclosure of the horrid individual aspects of
war. They are absolutely perfect of their kind."--_N. Y. Evening
Mail._
MADAME THERESE, or, the Volunteers of '92. With four full-page
illustrations.
"It is a boy's story--that is, supposed to be written by a
boy--and has all the freshness, the unconscious simplicity and
_naivete_ which the imagined authorship should imply; while
nothing more graphic, more clearly and vividly pictorial, has
been brought before the public for many a day."--_Boston
Commonwealth._
