_HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY._
=THE NORMAN PEOPLE=, AND THEIR EXISTING DESCENDANTS IN THE BRITISH
DOMINIONS AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. One handsome vol. 8vo. Price
21s. [_In the Press._
This work is the result of many years of research into the
history of the Norman race in England. It is generally supposed
to have become extinct; but careful study has shown that it
exists and forms a large part of the English people. In the
course of the work the early history of the whole aristocracy
is revised, reconstructed, and very many thousands of families
are shown to be Norman which have never before been accounted
for.

“But there is a high tone about them, a love of justice, of
truth and integrity, a sense of honour and manliness, and a
simple devotion to religious duty, which however mistaken
according to our lights, is deserving of every respect. The
translation is the work of a lady, and a very excellent and
scholar-like translation it is, clearly and pleasantly written,
and illustrated and explained by copious notes, indicating
considerable learning and research.”—_Saturday Review._

fragrance of the East, should by all means read Mrs. Godfrey

“The book has a genuine historical value.”—_Saturday Review._
“The present volume gives us conversations with some
of the most prominent men in the political history of
France and Italy.... Mr. Senior has the art of inspiring
all men with frankness, and of persuading them to put
themselves unreservedly in his hands without fear of private
circulation.”—_Athenæum._
“No better, more honest, and more readable view of the state of
political society during the existence of the second Republic

subtle, and concise criticisms on authors of every sort and
time—poets, moralists, historians, and philosophers. Sara
Coleridge, as she is revealed, or rather reveals herself, in
the correspondence, makes a brilliant addition to a brilliant
family reputation.”—_Saturday Review._
“These charming volumes are attractive in two ways: first, as a
memorial of a most amiable woman of high intellectual mark; and
secondly, as rekindling recollections, and adding a little to
our information regarding the life of Sara Coleridge’s father,
the poet and philosopher.”—_Athenæum._

fascinating of novelists.”—_Saturday Review._

appreciative delineation of character than this Memoir of
Hawthorne.”—_Morning Post._

Several chapters devoted to the characteristics of the people

deserves the heartiest commendation ... sparkling and amusing
from beginning to end. Reading it is like rambling about with
a companion who is content to loiter, observing everything,
commenting upon everything, turning everything into a picture,
with a cheerful flow of spirits, full of fun, but far above
frivolity.”—_Spectator._
“He writes very lightly and pleasantly, and brightens his pages
with a good deal of humour. His experiences were varied enough,

in sport or natural history.”—_Athenæum._
“The descriptions are clear and full of interest, while the
book is prevented from degenerating into a mere scientific
catalogue by many graphic sketches of the rambles.”—_John Bull._
“To the naturalist the book will be most valuable.... To the
general reader the book will prove most interesting, for the
style is pleasant and chatty, and the information given is
so graphic and full, that those who care nothing for natural
history as a pursuit will yet read these descriptions with
great interest.”—_Evening Standard._
“Both sportsmen and naturalists will find this work replete
with anecdote and carefully-recorded observation, which will
entertain them.”—_Nature._

cloth. Five full-page Engravings, and 31 smaller Illustrations, with Map

interesting study, become doubly interesting, when we are, as
in these pages, introduced to them in their daily walk and
conversation.”—_Examiner._

dry humour and satiric reflection which shows the writer to be

“Vivacious and interesting.”—_Scotsman._
“Open the book, however, at what page the reader may, he will
find something to amuse and instruct, and he must be very hard
to please if he finds nothing to suit him, either grave or gay,
stirring or romantic, in the capital stories collected in this
well-got-up volume.”—_John Bull._
=SHORT LECTURES ON THE LAND LAWS.= Delivered before the Working Men’s
College. By =T. Lean Wilkinson=. Crown 8vo. limp cloth. 2s.
“A very handy and intelligible epitome of the general
principles of existing land laws.”—_Standard._
“A very clear and lucid statement as to the condition of the
present land laws which govern our country. These Lectures
possess the advantage of not being loaded with superfluous
matter.”—_Civil Service Gazette._
=AN ESSAY ON THE CULTURE OF THE OBSERVING POWERS OF CHILDREN=, especially
in connection with the Study of Botany. By =Eliza A. Youmans=. Edited,
with Notes and a Supplement, by =Joseph Payne, F.C.P.=, Author of
“Lectures on the Science and Art of Education,” &c. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.
“This study, according to her just notions on the subject, is
to be fundamentally based on the exercise of the pupil’s own
powers of observation. He is to see and examine the properties
of plants and flowers at first hand, not merely to be informed
of what others have seen and examined.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._
=THE GENIUS OF CHRISTIANITY UNVEILED.= Being Essays by =William Godwin=,
Author of “Political Justice,” &c. Never before published. 1 vol., crown
8vo. 7s. 6d.

=Moncure D. Conway=. Crown 8vo. 5s.
“A very able exposure of the most plausible fallacies of

style.”—_Standard._
“Mr. Conway writes with ardent sincerity. He gives us some good
anecdotes, and he is occasionally almost eloquent.”—_Guardian_,
July 2, 1873.
=STREAMS FROM HIDDEN SOURCES.= By =B. Montgomerie Ranking=. Crown 8vo. 6s.
“In point of style it is well executed, and the prefatory
notices are very good.”—_Spectator._
“The effect of reading the seven tales he presents to us is to
make us wish for some seven more of the same kind.”—_Pall Mall
Gazette._
“The tales are given throughout in the quaint version of the
earliest English translators, and in the introduction to each
will be found much curious information as to their origin, and
the fate which they have met at the hands of later transcribers
or imitators, and much tasteful appreciation of the varied
sources from whence they are extracted.... We doubt not that
Mr. Ranking’s enthusiasm will communicate itself to many of his
readers, and induce them in like manner to follow back these
streamlets to their parent river.”—_Graphic._
_MILITARY WORKS._
=THE GERMAN ARTILLERY IN THE BATTLES NEAR METZ.= Based on the official
reports of the German Artillery. By =Captain Hoffbauer=, Instructor in
the German Artillery and Engineer School. Translated by =Capt. E. O.
Hollist=.
This history gives a detailed account of the movements of the
German artillery in the three days’ fighting to the east and
west of Metz, which resulted in paralyzing the army under
Marshal Bazaine, and its subsequent surrender. The action of
the batteries with reference to the other arms is clearly
explained, and the valuable maps show the positions taken up
by the individual batteries at each stage of the contests.
Tables are also supplied in the Appendix, furnishing full
details as to the number of killed and wounded, expenditure of
ammunition, &c. The campaign of 1870-71 having demonstrated the
importance of artillery to an extent which has not previously
been conceded to it, this work forms a valuable part of the
literature of the campaign, and will be read with interest
not only by members of the regular but also by those of the
auxiliary forces.

Translated by =Captain E. O. Hollist=. Demy 8vo. Uniform with the other

=VICTORIES AND DEFEATS.= An Attempt to explain the Causes which have led
to them. An Officer’s Manual. By =Col. R. P. Anderson=. Demy 8vo. 14s.
“A delightful military classic, and what is more, a most useful
one. The young officer should have it always at hand to open
anywhere and read a bit, and we warrant him that let that
bit be ever so small it will give him material for an hour’s
thinking.”—_United Service Gazette._
=THE FRONTAL ATTACK OF INFANTRY.= By =Capt. Laymann=, Instructor of
Tactics at the Military College, Neisse. Translated by =Colonel Edward
Newdigate=. Crown 8vo, limp cloth. Price 2s. 6d.
“This work has met with special attention in our
army.”—_Militarin Wochenblatt._
=THE OPERATIONS OF THE FIRST ARMY IN NORTHERN FRANCE AGAINST FAIDHERBE.=
By =Colonel Count Hermann Von Wartensleben=, Chief of the Staff of the
First Army. Translated by =Colonel C. H. Von Wright=. In demy 8vo.
Uniform with the above. Price 9s.
“Very clear, simple, yet eminently instructive, is this
history. It is not overladen with useless details, is written
in good taste, and possesses the inestimable value of being in
great measure the record of operations actually witnessed by
the author, supplemented by official documents.”—_Athenæum._
“The work is based on the official war documents—it is
especially valuable—the narrative is remarkably vivid and
interesting. Two well-executed maps enable the reader to trace
out the scenes of General Manteuffel’s operations.”—_Naval and
Military Gazette._
=ELEMENTARY MILITARY GEOGRAPHY, RECONNOITRING, AND SKETCHING.= Compiled
for Non-Commissioned Officers and Soldiers of all Arms. By =Lieut. C. E.
H. Vincent=, Royal Welsh Fusileers. Small crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.
“An admirable little manual full of facts and
teachings.”—_United Service Gazette._
=STUDIES IN THE NEW INFANTRY TACTICS.= Parts I. & II. By =Major W. Von
Schereff=. Translated from the German by =Col. Lumley Graham=. Price 7s.
6d.
“Major Von Schereff’s ‘Studies in Tactics’ is worthy of the
perusal—indeed, of the thoughtful study—of every military
man. The subject of the respective advantages of attack and
defence, and of the methods in which each form of battle should
be carried out under the fire of modern arms, is exhaustively
and admirably treated; indeed, we cannot but consider it to be
decidedly superior to any work which has hitherto appeared in
English upon this all-important subject.”—_Standard._
=TACTICAL DEDUCTIONS FROM THE WAR OF 1870-1.= By =Captain A. Von
Boguslawski=. Translated by =Colonel Lumley Graham=, late 18th (Royal
Irish) Regiment. Demy 8vo. Uniform with the above. Price 7s.
“Major Boguslawski’s tactical deductions from the war are,
that infantry still preserve their superiority over cavalry,
that open order must henceforth be the main principles of all
drill, and that the chassepot is the best of all small arms
for precision.... We must, without delay, impress brain and
forethought into the British Service; and we cannot commence
the good work too soon, or better, than by placing the two
books (‘The Operations of the German Armies’ and ‘Tactical
Deductions’) we have here criticised, in every military
library, and introducing them as class-books in every tactical
school.”—_United Service Gazette._
=THE ARMY OF THE NORTH-GERMAN CONFEDERATION.= A Brief Description of its
Organisation, of the different Branches of the Service and their ‘Rôle’
in War, of its Mode of Fighting, &c. By a =Prussian General=. Translated
from the German by =Col. Edward Newdigate=. Demy 8vo. 5s.
⁂ The authorship of this book was erroneously ascribed to the
renowned General von Moltke, but there can be little doubt that
it was written under his immediate inspiration.
=THE OPERATIONS OF THE GERMAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, FROM SEDAN TO THE END OF
THE WAR OF 1870-1.= With Large Official Map. From the Journals of the
Head-quarters Staff, by =Major Wm. Blume=. Translated by =E. M. Jones=,
Major 20th Foot, late Professor of Military History, Sandhurst. Demy 8vo.
Price 9s.
“The book is of absolute necessity to the military student....
The work is one of high merit.”—_United Service Gazette._
“The work of translation has been well done. In notes,
prefaces, and introductions, much additional information has
been given.”—_Athenæum._
“The work of Major von Blume in its English dress forms the
most valuable addition to our stock of works upon the war
that our press has put forth. Major Blume writes with a clear
conciseness much wanting in many of his country’s historians.
Our space forbids our doing more than commending it earnestly
as the most authentic and instructive narrative of the second
section of the war that has yet appeared.”—_Saturday Review._
=THE OPERATIONS OF THE SOUTH ARMY IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, 1871.=
Compiled from the Official War Documents of the Head-quarters of the
Southern Army. By =Count Hermann Von Wartensleben=, Colonel in the
Prussian General Staff. Translated by =Colonel C. H. Von Wright=. Demy
8vo, with Maps. Uniform with the above. Price 6s.
=HASTY INTRENCHMENTS.= By =Colonel A. Brialmont=. Translated by
=Lieutenant Charles A. Empson, R.A.= Demy 8vo. Nine Plates. Price 6s.
“A valuable contribution to military literature.”—_Athenæum._
“In seven short chapters it gives plain directions for forming
shelter-trenches, with the best method of carrying the
necessary tools, and it offers practical illustrations of the
use of hasty intrenchments on the field of battle.”—_United
Service Magazine._
“It supplies that which our own textbooks give but imperfectly,
viz., hints as to how a position can best be strengthened by
means ... of such extemporised intrenchments and batteries as
can be thrown up by infantry in the space of four or five hours
... deserves to become a standard military work.”—_Standard._
“Clearly and critically written.”—_Wellington Gazette._
=STUDIES IN LEADING TROOPS.= By =Colonel Von Verdy Du Vernois=. An
authorised and accurate Translation by =Lieutenant H. J. T. Hildyard=,
71st Foot. Parts I. and II. Demy 8vo. Price 7s.
⁂ General BEAUCHAMP WALKER says of this work:—“I recommend
the first two numbers of Colonel von Verdy’s ‘Studies’ to the
attentive perusal of my brother officers. They supply a want
which I have often felt during my service in this country,
namely, a minuter tactical detail of the minor operations of
the war than any but the most observant and fortunately-placed
staff-officer is in a position to give. I have read and re-read
them very carefully, I hope with profit, certainly with great
interest, and believe that practice, in the sense of these
‘Studies,’ would be a valuable preparation for manœuvres on a
more extended scale.”—Berlin, June, 1872.
=THE SUBSTANTIVE SENIORITY ARMY LIST=, Majors and Captains. By =Captain
F. B. P. White=, 1st W. I. Regiment. 8vo, sewed. 2s. 6d.
=CAVALRY FIELD DUTY.= By =Major-General Von Mirus=. Translated by
=Captain Frank S. Russell=, 14th (King’s) Hussars. Crown 8vo, limp cloth.
7s. 6d.
⁂ This is the text-book of instruction in the German cavalry,
and comprises all the details connected with the military
duties of cavalry soldiers on service. The translation is made
from a new edition, which contains the modifications introduced
consequent on the experiences of the late war. The great
interest that students feel in all the German military methods,
will, it is believed, render this book especially acceptable at
the present time.
=DISCIPLINE AND DRILL.= Four Lectures delivered to the London Scottish
Rifle Volunteers. By =Captain S. Flood Page=. A New and Cheaper Edition.
Price 1s.
“One of the best-known and coolest-headed of the metropolitan
regiments, whose adjutant moreover has lately published an
admirable collection of lectures addressed by him to the men of
his corps.—_Times._
“The very useful and interesting work.”—_Volunteer Service
Gazette._
_INDIA AND THE EAST._
=THE ORIENTAL SPORTING MAGAZINE.= A Reprint of the first 5 Volumes, in 2
Volumes, demy 8vo. price 28s.
These volumes contain many quaint and clever papers, among
which we may mention the famous Sporting Songs written by S.
Y. S., of “The Boar, Saddle, Spur, and Spear,” &c., &c.—Capt.
MORRIS, of the Bombay Army; as well as descriptions of Hog

In 1 vol. Post 8vo. 6s.
“Full of all sorts of useful information to the English settler
or traveller in India.”—_Standard._
“One of the most valuable books ever published in
India—valuable for its sound information, its careful array
of pertinent facts, and its sterling common sense. It is a
publisher’s as well as an author’s ‘hit,’ for it supplies
a want which few persons may have discovered, but which
everybody will at once recognise when once the contents of
the book have been mastered. The medical part of the work is
invaluable.”—_Calcutta Guardian._
=THE MEDICAL GUIDE FOR ANGLO-INDIANS.= Being a Compendium of advice

“An admirable and exhaustive geographical, political, and
industrial survey.”—_Athenæum._
“The usefulness of this compact and methodical summary of the
most authentic information relating to countries whose welfare
is intimately connected with our own, should obtain for Mr.
Lewin Bowring’s work a good place among treatises of its
kind.”—_Daily News._
“Interesting even to the general reader, but more especially so
to those who may have a special concern in that portion of our
Indian Empire.”—_Post._

Commissioner, African Settlements; Director of Public Instruction, Ceylon.
EXTRACT FROM PROSPECTUS.
The Editor has undertaken to frame for India,—what he has been
eminently successful in doing for England and her colonies,—a
series of educational works, which he hopes will prove as
suitable for the peculiar wants of the country as they will be
consistent with the leading idea above alluded to. Like all
beginnings, his present instalments are necessarily somewhat
meagre and elementary; but he only awaits official and public
approval to complete, within a comparatively brief period,
his contemplated plan of a specific and fairly comprehensive
series of works in the various leading vernaculars of the
Indian continent. Meanwhile, those on his general catalogue
may be found suitable, in their present form, for use in the
Anglo-vernacular and English schools of India.
