New and Cheaper Edition.
"The book is moderate in size, beautifully printed on unloaded paper, rich in illustrations exceedingly well reproduced from photographs, conveying an impressive conception of the scenery and people which form their subjects."—The Times.
"This book, in which Major Waddell sets forth the results of his investigation of the Himalayas, will be appreciated by geographers as a valuable contribution to our limited knowledge of a little-explored region. With the exception of Hooker, no European has got nearer to Mount Everest than the author, and his observations of this and the adjacent peaks, in combination with the admirable photographs that he provides, form a feature of the work that deserves special attention."—Morning Post.
The Waterloo Campaign, 1815.
By CAPTAIN WILLIAM SIBORNE.
New Edition. Large Crown 8vo., 6s.
This Work is the most exact, complete, and authoritative account in our language of what is sometimes called The Hundred Days' War, and sometimes The Twenty Days' Campaign; including the Battles of Ligny, Quatre Bras, Waterloo, and Wavre. It is written with great impartiality, being as fair to the French as to the Allies.
Every movement is clearly described; and the name of every Commander and every Regiment engaged, on both sides, is given.
The Work also includes, Regiment by Regiment, the names of all the Officers of the British Army who were at Waterloo; distinguishing such as were Killed, Wounded, or Missing.
All who read it will gain a very clear insight into the Methods of Military Strategy as they were practised by the great Captains of that Age.
