WORDS BY AN EYEWITNESS:
THE STRUGGLE IN NATAL.
Eleventh Impression. With a new Preface.
Crown 8vo, 6s.
"Among the many books which have found their birth in the campaign against the Boers, this one stands out, not merely on account of the author's literary merits, keen power of observation, and attractive phraseology, but in its unprejudiced sentiments and clever handling of battle impressions hitherto unattempted by contemporary writers. It is the work of an artist."—Times.
THE MECHANISM OF WAR.
Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
"The new writer best worth talking about is 'Linesman.' He comes with no tricks of style to entrance mercurial critics. A style he has, but lit is inseparable from his matter, and that is his own. It is a satisfaction to find a new writer who has something to say and says it in a manner that cannot be imitated by the rapt connoisseurs of cake-walk writing; but it is not a surprise, for 'Linesman's' theme is War, and he is equal to it."—Academy.
"Throughout the book we recognise a mind which seizes on the essentials, and sees things in their true proportion,—a mind which, while it never loses sight of the whole, knows which details to enforce so that the reader may grasp that whole too."—Spectator.
