“His book has one fault, the rarest fault in books, it is too short.”——Monthly Magazine, April.
“His book is one of the most lively histories of Soldiers’ Adventures which have yet appeared; their entire freedom from affectation will sufficiently recommend them to a numerous class of readers.”——Athenæum.
“Kincaid’s Adventures in the Rifle Brigade is written with all the frankness and freedom from study which bespeaks the gallant soldier, one to whom the sword is more adapted than the pen, but who, as now cedunt arma togæ, has, in these ‘piping times’ of peace determined ‘to fight all his battles over again,’ and he fights them in a style interesting and graphic. The remarks on the decisive termination of the Battle of Waterloo are striking and convincing; and to them and the whole book we refer our readers for much amusement and information.”——The Age.
