  THE FOLLOWING ARE EXTRACTS FROM MORE THAN 1,000 ENDORSEMENTS OF THIS
  VOLUME:—­

  To me at least, it will be an authority.  A book of permanent value, not
  milk for babes but strong meat for men.—­Ex-Pres.  T.D.  Woolsey.

  Fills an important place in History, not before occupied.—­Wm. M.
  Everts, N.Y.

  The maps themselves are a History, invaluable, and never before
  supplied.—­Henry Day, N.Y.

  An entirely new field of Historical labor.  A splendid volume, the result
  of careful research, with the advantage of military experience.—­Geo.
  Bancroft.

  It is an absolute necessity in our literature.  No one can understand the
  philosophy of the old War for Independence, until he has made a careful
  and thoughtful perusal of this work.—­Benson J. Lossing.

  The maps are just splendid.—­Adj.  Gen. W.L.  Stryker, N.J.

  The book is invaluable and should be in every library.—­Wm. L. Stone,
  N.Y.

  Of permanent standard authority.—­Gen. De Peister, N.Y.

  Indicates such profound erudition and ability in the discussion as
  leaves nothing to be desired.—­Sen.  Oscar de La Fayette, Paris.

  I have read the volume with pleasure and profit.—­Z.  Chandler.

  The volume is superb and will give the author enduring fame.—­B. 
  Gratz Brown, St. Louis.

  It should have a place in every gentleman’s library, and is just the
  book which young men of Great Britain and America should know by
  heart.—­London Telegraph.

  The most impartial criticism on military affairs in this country which
  the century has produced.—­Army and Navy Journal.

  Fills in a definite form that which has hitherto been a somewhat vague
  period of military history.—­Col.  Hamley, Pres., Queen’s Staff
  College, England.

  A valuable addition to my library at Knowlsy.—­Lord Derby, late Brit. 
  Sec. of State.
