"Its laudable purpose is to strip the hateful war system of its gaudy
gloss; to exhibit the miserable realities of the soldier's life, as
contrasted with the false notions deduced by ignorant poor people from
the pomp of the parade, and the dramatic jollity of the recruiting
sergeant.... It is on the whole a performance quite creditable to the
fair authoress."--_Weekly Chronicle._
"This little volume will probably accomplish more than all the pulpits
in England have effected in ten years towards creating a horror of war,
the greatest crime against God which man commits. It is well-written,
deeply interesting, neatly bound and illustrated."--_Critic._
"A very cleverly-written story.... The book will make you weep and
moralise,"--_Era._
