THE BOOK OF WAR. Translated into English by Captain E. F. Calthrop, R.A. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. net.

This work, the writings of Suntzu and Wutzu, Chinese Strategists of about the 5th century B.C., is the most famous work on the art of war in the Far East. It deals with operations of war, statecraft, moral and training of troops, stratagem, the use of spies, etc., and for 25 centuries it has been the Bible of the Chinese or j.a.panese ruler. The book is distinguished alike by the poetry and grandeur of its language and the modernity of its spirit.

NELSON AND OTHER NAVAL STUDIES. By James R. Thursfield. With Ill.u.s.trations. Demy 8vo. 12s. net.

"Few other writers except Mahan possess Mr. Thursfield's faculty of combining the romance of the sea with the science of naval warfare, and in both alike the cult of Nelson gives life and warmth to their studies.... The merit of Mr. Thursfield's writing is the firm hold which he has of the central principles of a maritime defensive policy.

His writing is effective, and at times even brilliant; but this it is which gives it force and lucidity."--Westminster Gazette.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CHIEF CAMPAIGNS IN EUROPE SINCE 1792. By General A. von Horsetzky, G.O.C. the 1st Austro-Hungarian Army Corps and the Troops in Cracow. Translated by Lieutenant K. B. Ferguson, R.G.A. With numerous Maps and Plans. Demy Svo. 18s. net.

"We have nothing but praise for Gen. von Horsetzky's book. It is a valuable addition to military literature, for we do not know where else, in such form, records of so many campaigns can be studied. The work of translation and condensation has been admirably done. The merit of the book is its extreme clearness and known accuracy ... those who desire to gain a correct idea of modern military history will find the book invaluable."--Army and Navy Gazette.

RASPLATA (The Reckoning). By Commander Wladimir s.e.m.e.noff. His Diary during the Blockade of Port Arthur and the Voyage of the Fleets under Admiral Rojdestvensky. With Maps. Demy Svo. 10s. 6d. net.

"Commander s.e.m.e.noff writes only of what he knows and has seen. His simple candour and cool intrepidity enable him to record his experiences at the moment in the most appalling scenes of naval conflict that modern times have known."--Times.

"An authentic record of the highest value, which is likely to become a cla.s.sic among naval annals."--Westminster Gazette.

THE RUSSIAN ARMY AND THE j.a.pANESE WAR. Being Historical and Critical Comments on the Military Policy and Power of Russia and on the Campaign in the Far East. By General Kuropatkin. Translated by Captain A. B.

Lindsay. Edited by Major E. D. Swinton, D.S.O., R.E. With Maps and Ill.u.s.trations. 2 Vols. Demy 8vo. 28s. net.

"... We doubt if a more virile or sincere doc.u.ment was ever put before the public, and it says little for the official wisdom of General Kuropatkin's fellow-countrymen that such a record should have been suppressed in the land of its origin. In England, at any rate, the patent honesty and abundant good feeling of these measured criticisms will be valued at their proper worth."--Daily Telegraph.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PORT ARTHUR. By Monsieur E. K. Nojine, accredited Russian War Correspondent during the Siege. Translated and Abridged by Captain A. B. Lindsay. Edited by Major E. D. Swinton, D.S.O. With Map and Ill.u.s.trations. Demy 8vo. 15s. net.

"M. Nojine is unusually well qualified to offer testimony on the long beleaguerment. He writes with vivacity and force, and the translation is competent and spirited, both on account of its vivid narrative and by reason of the extraordinary revelations it contains.... It is the most remarkable book about the war yet issued."--Times.

"An excellent compendium of the whole war, clearly written and amply ill.u.s.trated by photographs, maps, and diagrams.... It is a narrative that will fascinate the many who love to read about war-like movements.... It is a story of wise and patient preparation, carefully arranged generals.h.i.+p, supreme daring, amazing tenacity. Undoubtedly the right thing has been done in giving to the world a stiring story, which has remained too long, many will think, a secret record."--The Sheffield Independent.

CAVALRY IN FUTURE WARS. By His Excellency Lt.-General Frederick von Bernhardi, Commander of the 7th Division of the German Army.

Translated by Charles Sydney Goldman, Editor of "The Empire and the Century." With an Introduction by General Sir John French, K.C.M.G., K.C.B., G.C.V.O. Demy 8vo. 10s. 6d. net.

"Here at last, in the English language, we have a really important work on the German cavalry at first hand."--Broad Arrow.

"General Von Bernhardi most certainly knows what he is talking about, and is equally at home when discussing matters of the highest import or others of comparatively trifling details; he displays a sound knowledge and judgment concerning all things of organization, strategy, tactics, and training; and moreover, he thoroughly understands horses, so that he is enabled to offer very valuable service on every subject connected with them, from training of the remount to the economical use of horseflesh in war."--Westminster Gazette.

"The most valuable work in which, since its close, the war has been discussed. It stands alone, because it is the only work in which the war has been surveyed by trained and competent students of war, the only one of which the judgments are based on a familiarity with the modern theory of war. The best book that has yet appeared on the South African War."--The Morning Post.

Grant, D.S.O., Rifle Brigade. With Maps and Ill.u.s.trations. Cheap Edition. Square 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.

"It is pre-eminently a book to be read for enjoyment as well as instruction; but it will fall short of its more immediate value if measures are not devised for bringing it before the attention of those responsible for the education of 'youngsters' in training for a sea life."--Pall Mall Gazette.
