Recent Works of History, etc.
By G. Boissier (de l’Académie Française).
Cicero and his Friends.
M. Boissier’s work in the French is familiar to historical students; but it has been felt that a translation would make it available for many more readers. The addition of an index and analytical contents increase its advantages for reference.
By J. S. Risley, M.A., B.C.L.
The Law of War.
Compiled primarily for the use of the ordinary reader rather than the technical student.
First Review.—“The book... is admirably done. It avoids technicalities and... is admirably suited to serve as a guide and first introduction to a most instructive subject.”—Scotsman.
New and Revised Edition.
By Lieutenant-General McLeod Innes, V.C.
Lucknow and Oude in the Mutiny.
A critical narrative of the causes and course of the Mutiny, with a full account of the operations in Oude and the siege of Lucknow, from personal knowledge.
“A most valuable contribution to the history of the great crisis.”—Times.
“Recent literature concerning the Indian Mutiny has brought us nothing so valuable.... His knowledge of India and her people is accurate and profound.... The facts are marshalled with consummate skill. In this book General Innes has rendered invaluable service in regard to the military history of the Mutiny and the Indian Empire.”—Army and Navy Gazette.
By Dr. Wilhelm Busch, Professor at the University of Freiburg, in Baden.
England under the Tudors.
“Since a body of Oxford Tutors published a translation of Ranke’s English History just twenty years ago, no more important step has been taken to give English readers access to recent German work on English History than in the book now before us.... The general value of what we hope will ultimately be the best general text-book of Tudor History is too well known to scholars to make it worth while to dwell upon it here.”—Speaker.
By Arthur D. Innes, M.A., Author of “Seers and Singers,” etc.
Britain and her Rivals.
1713-1789. A Study dealing chiefly with the Contests between the Naval Powers for Supremacy in America and India. With numerous Plans, Maps, etc. Large crown, buckram, 7s. 6d.
The Pall Mall Gazette, in a review headed, “History as it Should be Written,” says: “The book is indeed just what was most wanted:... a great deal more than a popular work in the usual sense of the term, seeing that it is accurate and thoughtful, besides being eminently readable.”
