A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE WAR WITH SPAIN.

CANNON AND CAMERA. Sea and Land Battles of the Spanish-American War in Cuba, Camp Life, and Return of the Soldiers. Described and illustrated by J. C. HEMMENT, War Artist at the Front. With over one hundred full-page pictures taken by the author, and an Index. Large 12mo. Cloth, $2.00.

“The most interesting book about the war so far is ‘Cannon and Camera.’ It is also the best, considered purely as a narrative. Mr. Hemment was at the right places at the right times.... No series of pictures as good as this on the scenes and events of the war has been made by any other man.”—Boston Herald.

“Clever and picturesque.... Over one hundred capital instantaneous photographs illustrate Mr. Hemment’s well-written record, and not the least of the book’s recommendations is the outspoken simplicity of its style and the strong impression it makes upon the reader of being the uninfluenced evidence of an eye-witness who ‘draws the thing as he see it,’ and without exaggeration or prejudice.”—Sunday-School Times.

“Will have a permanent value and a popularity which doubtless the more technical books will lack.”—Army and Navy Register.

“Accurate as well as picturesque.... Mr. Hemment has done his work well. In point of faithful realism there has thus far been nothing better in the whole war literature.”—Boston Journal.

“The pictures comprise the best set of war views that we have seen.”—Philadelphia Inquirer.

“He is able to give us consecutive pictures of the war, possessing the great value of viewing it from beginning to end.”—Baltimore Sun.
