We doubt not that Mr. Ranking’s enthusiasm will communicate itself to many of his readers, and induce them in like manner to follow back these streamlets to their parent river.”—_Graphic._ _MILITARY WORKS._ =THE GERMAN ARTILLERY IN THE BATTLES NEAR METZ.= Based on the official reports of the German Artillery. By =Captain Hoffbauer=, Instructor in the German Artillery and Engineer School. Translated by =Capt. E. O. Hollist=. This history gives a detailed account of the movements of the German artillery in the three days’ fighting to the east and west of Metz, which resulted in paralyzing the army under Marshal Bazaine, and its subsequent surrender. The action of the batteries with reference to the other arms is clearly explained, and the valuable maps show the positions taken up by the individual batteries at each stage of the contests. Tables are also supplied in the Appendix, furnishing full details as to the number of killed and wounded, expenditure of ammunition, &c. The campaign of 1870-71 having demonstrated the importance of artillery to an extent which has not previously been conceded to it, this work forms a valuable part of the literature of the campaign, and will be read with interest not only by members of the regular but also by those of the auxiliary forces. =THE OPERATIONS OF THE FIRST ARMY, UNDER STEINMETZ.= By =Von Schell=.

It is not overladen with useless details, is written in good taste, and possesses the inestimable value of being in great measure the record of operations actually witnessed by the author, supplemented by official documents.”—_Athenæum._ “The work is based on the official war documents—it is especially valuable—the narrative is remarkably vivid and interesting. Two well-executed maps enable the reader to trace out the scenes of General Manteuffel’s operations.”—_Naval and Military Gazette._ =ELEMENTARY MILITARY GEOGRAPHY, RECONNOITRING, AND SKETCHING.= Compiled for Non-Commissioned Officers and Soldiers of all Arms.

Translated from the German by =Col. Lumley Graham=. Price 7s. 6d. “Major Von Schereff’s ‘Studies in Tactics’ is worthy of the perusal—indeed, of the thoughtful study—of every military man. The subject of the respective advantages of attack and defence, and of the methods in which each form of battle should be carried out under the fire of modern arms, is exhaustively and admirably treated; indeed, we cannot but consider it to be decidedly superior to any work which has hitherto appeared in English upon this all-important subject.”—_Standard._ =TACTICAL DEDUCTIONS FROM THE WAR OF 1870-1.= By =Captain A. Von Boguslawski=. Translated by =Colonel Lumley Graham=, late 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment. Demy 8vo. Uniform with the above. Price 7s. “Major Boguslawski’s tactical deductions from the war are, that infantry still preserve their superiority over cavalry, that open order must henceforth be the main principles of all drill, and that the chassepot is the best of all small arms for precision.... We must, without delay, impress brain and forethought into the British Service; and we cannot commence the good work too soon, or better, than by placing the two books (‘The Operations of the German Armies’ and ‘Tactical Deductions’) we have here criticised, in every military library, and introducing them as class-books in every tactical school.”—_United Service Gazette._ =THE ARMY OF THE NORTH-GERMAN CONFEDERATION.= A Brief Description of its Organisation, of the different Branches of the Service and their ‘Rôle’ in War, of its Mode of Fighting, &c. By a =Prussian General=. Translated from the German by =Col. Edward Newdigate=. Demy 8vo. 5s. ⁂ The authorship of this book was erroneously ascribed to the renowned General von Moltke, but there can be little doubt that it was written under his immediate inspiration. =THE OPERATIONS OF THE GERMAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, FROM SEDAN TO THE END OF THE WAR OF 1870-1.= With Large Official Map.

In notes, prefaces, and introductions, much additional information has been given.”—_Athenæum._ “The work of Major von Blume in its English dress forms the most valuable addition to our stock of works upon the war that our press has put forth. Major Blume writes with a clear conciseness much wanting in many of his country’s historians. Our space forbids our doing more than commending it earnestly as the most authentic and instructive narrative of the second section of the war that has yet appeared.”—_Saturday Review._ =THE OPERATIONS OF THE SOUTH ARMY IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, 1871.= Compiled from the Official War Documents of the Head-quarters of the Southern Army.

An authorised and accurate Translation by =Lieutenant H. J. T. Hildyard=, 71st Foot. Parts I. and II. Demy 8vo. Price 7s. ⁂ General BEAUCHAMP WALKER says of this work:—“I recommend the first two numbers of Colonel von Verdy’s ‘Studies’ to the attentive perusal of my brother officers. They supply a want which I have often felt during my service in this country, namely, a minuter tactical detail of the minor operations of the war than any but the most observant and fortunately-placed staff-officer is in a position to give. I have read and re-read them very carefully, I hope with profit, certainly with great interest, and believe that practice, in the sense of these ‘Studies,’ would be a valuable preparation for manœuvres on a more extended scale.”—Berlin, June, 1872. =THE SUBSTANTIVE SENIORITY ARMY LIST=, Majors and Captains.

The translation is made from a new edition, which contains the modifications introduced consequent on the experiences of the late war. The great interest that students feel in all the German military methods, will, it is believed, render this book especially acceptable at the present time. =DISCIPLINE AND DRILL.= Four Lectures delivered to the London Scottish Rifle Volunteers.

The Editor has undertaken to frame for India,—what he has been eminently successful in doing for England and her colonies,—a series of educational works, which he hopes will prove as suitable for the peculiar wants of the country as they will be consistent with the leading idea above alluded to. Like all beginnings, his present instalments are necessarily somewhat meagre and elementary; but he only awaits official and public approval to complete, within a comparatively brief period, his contemplated plan of a specific and fairly comprehensive series of works in the various leading vernaculars of the Indian continent. Meanwhile, those on his general catalogue may be found suitable, in their present form, for use in the Anglo-vernacular and English schools of India. _The following Works are now ready_:— s. d. =THE FIRST HINDUSTANI READER=, stiff linen wrapper 0 6 Ditto ditto strongly bound in cloth 0 9 =THE SECOND HINDUSTANI READER=, stiff linen wrapper 0 6 Ditto ditto strongly bound in cloth 0 9 =GEOGRAPHY OF INDIA=, with Maps and Historical Appendix, tracing the growth of the British Empire in Hindustan. 128 pp. Cloth 1 6 _In the Press._ =ELEMENTARY GEOGRAPHY OF INDIA.= =FACTS AND FEATURES OF INDIAN HISTORY=, in a series of alternating Reading Lessons and Memory Exercises. =EXCHANGE TABLES OF STERLING AND INDIAN RUPEE CURRENCY=, UPON A NEW AND EXTENDED SYSTEM, embracing Values from One Farthing to One Hundred Thousand Pounds, and at rates progressing, in Sixteenths of a Penny, from 1s. 9d. to 2s. 3d. per Rupee.

Marzials=. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d. “A conceit abounding in prettiness.”—_Examiner._ “Contains as clear evidence as a book can contain that its composition was a source of keen and legitimate enjoyment. The rush of fresh, sparkling fancies is too rapid, too sustained, too abundant, not to be spontaneous.”—_Academy._ =THE INN OF STRANGE MEETINGS, AND OTHER POEMS.= By =Mortimer Collins=. Crown 8vo. 5s. “Abounding in quiet humour, in bright fancy, in sweetness and melody of expression, and, at times, in the tenderest touches of pathos.”—_Graphic._ “Mr. Collins has an undercurrent of chivalry and romance beneath the trifling vein of good-humoured banter which is the special characteristic of his verse.”—_Athenæum._ =EROS AGONISTES.= By =E. B. D.= Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. “The author of these verses has written a very touching story of the human heart in the story he tells with such pathos and power, of an affection cherished so long and so secretly.... It is not the least merit of these pages that they are everywhere illumined with moral and religious sentiment suggested, not paraded, of the brightest, purest character.”—_Standard._ =CALDERON’S DRAMAS.= THE PURGATORY OF ST.

Poetical feeling is manifest here, and the diction of the poem is unimpeachable.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._ “He has successfully attempted what has seldom before been well done, viz., the treatment of subjects not in themselves poetical from a poetic point of view.”—_Graphic._ “Intensity of feeling, a rugged pathos, robustness of tone, and a downrightness of expression which does not shrink from even slang if it seem best fitted for his purpose.”—_Illustrated London News._ =SONGS OF LIFE AND DEATH.= By =John Payne=, Author of “Intaglios,” “Sonnets,” “The Masque of Shadows,” etc. Crown 8vo. 5s. “The art of ballad-writing has long been lost in England, and Mr. Payne may claim to be its restorer. It is a perfect delight to meet with such a ballad as ‘May Margaret’ in the present volume.”—_Westminster Review._ =ASPROMONTE, AND OTHER POEMS.= Second Edition, cloth. 4s. 6d. “The volume is anonymous, but there is no reason for the author to be ashamed of it. The ‘Poems of Italy’ are evidently inspired by genuine enthusiasm in the cause espoused; and one of them, ‘The Execution of Felice Orsini,’ has much poetic merit, the event celebrated being told with dramatic force.”—_Athenæum._ “The verse is fluent and free.”—_Spectator._ =A NEW VOLUME OF SONNETS.= By the =Rev. C. Tennyson Turner=. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d. “Mr. Turner is a genuine poet; his song is sweet and pure, beautiful in expression, and often subtle in thought.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._ “The dominant charm of all these sonnets is the pervading presence of the writer’s personality, never obtruded but always impalpably diffused. The light of a devout, gentle, and kindly spirit, a delicate and graceful fancy, a keen intelligence irradiates these thoughts.”—_Contemporary Review._ =GOETHE’S FAUST.= A New Translation in Rime.

PATRICK AND OTHER POEMS.= By =Aubrey de Vere=. Crown 8vo. 5s. “Mr. De Vere’s versification in his earlier poems is characterised by great sweetness and simplicity. He is master of his instrument, and rarely offends the ear with false notes. Poems such as these scarcely admit of quotation, for their charm is not, and ought not to be, found in isolated passages; but we can promise the patient and thoughtful reader much pleasure in the perusal of this volume.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._ “We have marked, in almost every page, excellent touches from which we know not how to select.

A very lively and agreeable novel.”—_Vanity Fair._ “‘The Queen’s Shilling’ is a capital story, far more interesting than the meagre sketch we have given of the fortunes of the hero and heroine can suggest.

Crown 8vo. 3 vols. “The story is well told, native life is admirably described, and the petty intrigues of native rulers, and their hatred of the English, mingled with fear lest the latter should eventually prove the victors, are cleverly depicted.”—_Athenæum._ “We cannot speak too highly of Colonel Meadows Taylor’s book.... We would recommend all novel-readers to purchase it at the earliest opportunity.”—_John Bull._ “Thoroughly interesting and enjoyable reading.”—_Examiner._ =HESTER MORLEY’S PROMISE.= By =Hesba Stretton=. 3 vols. “‘Hester Morley’s Promise’ is much better than the average novel of the day; it has much more claim to critical consideration as a piece of literary work,—not mere mechanism. The pictures of a narrow society—narrow of soul and intellect—in which the book abounds, are very clever.”—_Spectator._ “Its charm lies not so much, perhaps, in any special excellence in character, drawing, or construction—though all the characters stand out clearly and are well sustained, and the interest of the story never flags—as in general tone and colouring.”—_Observer._ =THE DOCTOR’S DILEMMA.= By =Hesba Stretton=, Author of “Little Meg,” &c., &c.

Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. 1.F. 1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment. 1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation.

Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. 1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. 1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact For additional contact information: Dr. Gregory B. Newby Chief Executive and Director [email protected] Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
