cloth, 4_s_. 6_d_. _One of the most comprehensive and accurate Biographical Dictionaries in the world, containing more than 18,000 persons of all countries, with dates of birth and death, and what they were distinguished for. Extreme care has been bestowed on the verification of the dates; and thus numerous errors, current in previous works, have been corrected. Its size adapts it for the desk, portmanteau, or pocket._ _"An invaluable addition to our manuals of reference, and, from its moderate price, cannot fail to become as popular as it is useful."_--_Times_. Hozier ------ THE SEVEN WEEKS' WAR; its Antecedents and its Incidents. By _H.M. Hozier_. With Maps and Plans. Two vols. 8vo. 28_s_. _This work is based upon letters reprinted by permission from_ "The Times." _For the most part it is a product of a personal eye-witness of some of the most interesting incidents of a war which, for rapidity and decisive results, may claim an almost unrivalled position in history._ |
