ACADEMY.—‘A spirited picture of Nelson and his times.... The story which the author has to tell is almost incredible in its directness of detail, but certainly fascinating in its charm.’
The Tale of the Great Mutiny. Second Impression. With 8 Portraits and 4 Plans. Crown 8vo, 6s.
GUARDIAN.—‘It is almost impossible to lay the book down. The Story of those summer months of 1857 must ever appeal to English readers.’
BOOKMAN.—‘Written with all the swing and dash, with all the careful accuracy and brilliant descriptive power which have made Dr. Fitchett’s books so deservedly popular.’
How England Saved Europe: the Story of the Great War (1793-1815). Second Impression. In 4 vols., crown 8vo, with Portraits, Facsimiles, and Plans, 6s. each.
TIMES.—‘The story is broadly told, but very vigorously. It is not without significance that this excellent “Story of the Great War,” at once popular in the best sense, well-informed, full of instruction, and very attractively written, should be the work of a Colonial writer.’
GUARDIAN.—‘Mr. Fitchett has achieved a real success, and the boy who cannot read these volumes with pleasure (and profit) is hopeless. They are, if boyhood would but see it, more enthralling than half the novels published.’
Fights for the Flag. Second Edition. With 16 Portraits, 13 Plans, and a Facsimile Letter of the Duke of Marlborough. Crown 8vo, 6s.
SPECTATOR.—‘“Fights for the Flag” is as good as “Deeds that Won the Empire.” To say more than this in praise of the book before us is unnecessary, for “Deeds that Won the Empire” was one of the best collection of popular battle studies ever given to the public.... No writer ever had more completely the art of making one realise how opposing forces move both by land and sea.’
REVIEW OF REVIEWS.—‘This is the second volume of the series which has achieved one of the greatest literary successes of our time.... As a gift-book, or as a book to take up and read at odd moments, or to devour at a prolonged sitting, this book has few equals, and will probably equal or eclipse the popularity of its predecessors.’
