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.
Evarts, N.Y.

An entirely new field of Historical labour.  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. Lessing.

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

This 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.  Grats 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.

A god-send after reading Washington Irving’s not very satisfying life of Washington.—­Sir Jos.  Hooker, Pres.  Royal Society, England.

A book not only meant to be read but studied.—­Harper’s Magazine.

The author at all times maintains an attitude of judicious impartiality.—­N.Y.  Times.

The record is accurate and impartial, and warrants the presumption that the literature of the subject has been exhausted.—­The Nation.

Will stand hereafter in the front rank of our most valuable historical treasures.
