Vol. I. 8vo. with coloured plates; price 20s. boards; to be completed in two volumes.
“Of the late war we have had histories, partial or complete, in countless abundance; but we have not seen one, displaying more moderation, more diligence in investigating the truth, or more shrewdness in deciding between conflicting statements. Though professedly merely a history of the services of the German Legion, it is, in fact, a history of the entire war; for, from ‘what glorious and well-foughten field,’ can we record the absence of German Chivalry? The work is not like others we could name—a mere compilation from newspapers and magazines. Major Beamish has left no source of information unexplored; and the access he obtained to manuscript journals has enabled him to intersperse his general narrative with interesting personal anecdotes, that render this volume as delightful for those who read for amusement, as those who read for profit.”——Athenæum.
“We are altogether much pleased with the volume, and heartily recommend it to the British public.”——Literary Gazette.
