WORKS BY W. H. FITCHETT, B.A., LL.D.

=Nelson and His Captains: Sketches of Famous Seamen.= With 11 Portraits and a Facsimile Letter. Crown 8vo, 6_s._

_PUNCH._—‘My Baronite, having read all Dr. Fitchett’s tales
of battle on land, thinks his best piece is his sea piece....
Saxon and Celt reading the glowing narrative will feel proud to
know it’s all true.’

_ACADEMY._—‘A spirited picture of Nelson and his times.... The
story which the author has to tell is almost incredible in its
directness of detail, but certainly fascinating in its charm.’

=The Tale of the Great Mutiny.= SECOND IMPRESSION. With 8 Portraits and 4 Plans. Crown 8vo, 6_s._

_GUARDIAN._—‘It is almost impossible to lay the book down.
The Story of those summer months of 1857 must ever appeal to
English readers.’

_BOOKMAN._—‘Written with all the swing and dash, with all the
careful accuracy and brilliant descriptive power which have
made Dr. Fitchett’s books so deservedly popular.’

=How England Saved Europe: the Story of the Great War (1793-1815).= SECOND IMPRESSION. In 4 vols., crown 8vo, with Portraits, Facsimiles, and Plans, 6_s._ each.

_TIMES._—‘The story is broadly told, but very vigorously. It
is not without significance that this excellent “Story of the
Great War,” at once popular in the best sense, well-informed,
full of instruction, and very attractively written, should be
the work of a Colonial writer.’

_GUARDIAN._—‘Mr. Fitchett has achieved a real success, and the
boy who cannot read these volumes with pleasure (and profit)
is hopeless. They are, if boyhood would but see it, more
enthralling than half the novels published.’

=Fights for the Flag.= SECOND EDITION. With 16 Portraits, 13 Plans, and a Facsimile Letter of the Duke of Marlborough. Crown 8vo, 6_s._

_SPECTATOR._—‘“Fights for the Flag” is as good as “Deeds that
Won the Empire.” To say more than this in praise of the book
before us is unnecessary, for “Deeds that Won the Empire” was
one of the best collection of popular battle studies ever given
to the public.... No writer ever had more completely the art of
making one realise how opposing forces move both by land and
sea.’

_REVIEW OF REVIEWS._—‘This is the second volume of the series
which has achieved one of the greatest literary successes of
our time.... As a gift-book, or as a book to take up and read
at odd moments, or to devour at a prolonged sitting, this
book has few equals, and will probably equal or eclipse the
popularity of its predecessors.’

=Deeds that Won the Empire.= FOURTEENTH EDITION. With 16 Portraits and 11 Plans. Crown 8vo, 6_s._

_SPECTATOR._—‘Not since Macaulay ceased to write has English
literature produced a writer capable of infusing such life and
vigour into historical scenes. The wholesome and manly tone
of Mr. Fitchett’s book is specially satisfactory.... The book
cannot but take the reader by storm wherever it finds him.’

_TIMES._—‘“Deeds that Won the Empire” is admirably conceived
and written. Wolfe’s striking feat of arms at Quebec, Hawke’s
splendid victory in Quiberon Bay, Busaco, Albuera, the Nile,
the action of the _Shannon_ and _Chesapeake_, with other
memorable fights by sea and land, are vividly described. Mr.
Fitchett has not sacrificed historical accuracy to dramatic
effect, and his words ring true.’

=Wellington’s Men: some Soldier-Autobiographies.= (‘Kincaid’s Adventures in the Rifle Brigade’; ‘Rifleman Harris’; Anton’s ‘Military Life’; Mercer’s ‘Waterloo.’) Edited by W. H. FITCHETT, M.A., LL.D. Crown 8vo, 6_s._

_SPECTATOR._—‘Fitchett has ere this sounded the clarion and
filled the fife to good purpose, but he has never done better
work than in rescuing from oblivion the narratives which appear
in this volume. Here we have the incidents of war told by the
actors themselves, and each actor saw a different side of
the thing, and had his own way of telling about it. We feel
very grateful to Mr. Fitchett for his skilful editing of four
stories which ought not to be allowed to die.’

WORKS BY FRANK T. BULLEN, F.R.G.S.

=Deep Sea Plunderings.= THIRD IMPRESSION. With 8 Full-page Illustrations by ARTHUR TWIDLE. Crown 8vo, 6s.

_SPECTATOR._—“A new book of sea stories from Mr. Bullen is an
event which all who enjoy an exciting narrative set forth in a
picturesque and animated manner have good reason to be thankful
for.... There is something in the book to please almost every
taste, and very little to call for serious criticism.... The
book deserves to be, and will be, read by all who look to
literature to provide them with refreshment and recreation.”

_TIMES._—“Mr. Bullen’s name is sufficient recommendation for a
collection of most miscellaneous stories, all smacking strongly
of the brine. In ‘Deep Sea Plunderings’ be does exciting
and informing work, and in the depths of the ocean finds
inexhaustible treasure.”

=The Men of the Merchant Service.= Being the Polity of the Mercantile Marine for ‘Longshore Readers.’ SECOND IMPRESSION. Large post 8vo, 7s. 6d.

_SPECTATOR._—“The book is of great value, and of great interest
to all the innumerable people who are curious about the most
romantic and separate of lives. But it is of importance,
secondly and chiefly, as Mr. Bullen’s appeal to the political
sense of his country. Put as briefly as possible, it comes
to this. The control of the sea is vital to England; and
the English, though they continue to be a great ship-owning
people, are less and less a seafaring people. English ships
are increasingly manned by foreigners and officered by
foreigners. We cannot commend his volume too earnestly to
public consideration. England’s tenure of her position in the
world depends on her merchant marine no less than on her Navy,
and in neither one nor the other can she afford to rely on
mercenaries.”

_ACADEMY._—“We could not in a short space convey any idea
of the variety of special information—all so human and
related-that Mr. Bullen gives.... We only prick a book that is
bulged with seacraft, and resembles the perfect sailor whose
every hair is a ropeyarn and every drop of blood Stockholm tar.”

=The Cruise of the “Cachalot” Round the World After Sperm Whales.= By FRANK T. BULLEN, First Mate. The volume includes a Letter to the Author from RUDYARD KIPLING. NINTH IMPRESSION. With 8 Illustrations and a Chart. Large post 8vo, 8s. 6d.

_TIMES._—“Mr. Bullen has a splendid subject, and be handles it
with the pen of a master.... ‘The Cruise of the _Cachalot_’ is
a book which cannot but fascinate all lovers of the sea, and
all who can appreciate a masterly presentation of its wonder
and its mystery, its terrors and its trials, its humours and
its tragedies.”

_The Rev. Dr. HORTON, in his Sermon on behalf of the British
and Foreign Bible Society, referred to Mr. Bullen’s ‘Cruise of
the Cachalot’ in the following terms_:

“It is a very remarkable book in every way: it seems to
me worthy to rank with some of the writings of Defoe. It
has absolutely taken the shine out of some of the romantic
literature of such writers as even Stevenson and Rudyard
Kipling. By the strange law that truth is more wonderful than
fiction, this book is more wonderful than the wildest dreams of
the creator of imagination.”

=The Log of a Sea-Waif.= Being Recollections of the First Four Years of my Sea Life. THIRD IMPRESSION. With 8 Full-page Illustrations specially drawn by ARTHUR TWIDLE. Large post 8vo, 8s. 6d.

_WORLD._—“We have read many stories of sea life, but do not
remember to have been so fascinated and enthralled by any
of them as by this masterly presentation of the humours,
hardships, and minor tragedies of life in the forecastle.”

_TIMES._—“Full of thrilling adventure, admirably told.... We
must leave Mr. Bullen’s touching story of his early struggles
and adventures to speak for itself. His descriptive powers are
great, his literary imagination is vivid, and he finds abundant
opportunities for the display of both.”

DICTIONARY of NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY AND SUPPLEMENT.

Edited by Sir LESLIE STEPHEN, K.C.B., and SIDNEY LEE.

(Volumes 1 to 21 edited by LESLIE STEPHEN. Volumes 22 to 26 edited by LESLIE STEPHEN and SIDNEY LEE. Volumes 27 to 63, and the three Supplementary Volumes, edited by SIDNEY LEE.)

A FEW REPRESENTATIVE OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

_TIMES._—‘ONE OF THE MOST ENDURING AND ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT LITERARY MONUMENTS OF THE TIME IN WHICH WE LIVE.
Indeed, it is no hyperbole to say that the Dictionary is much
more than this. In many respects it is unique—in its immense
bulk and scope, in the high standard of excellence it maintains
throughout, in the literary eminence and scholarly reputation
of so many of its contributors, in the amazing regularity of
its appearance from first to last.’

_SPECTATOR._—‘A WORK OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE. It will by degrees
and in course of years correct a great national fault—the
tendency to forget men who are worthy of remembrance.... No
statue will recall an eminent individual as this Dictionary
of Biography will recall them all. It is more than a great
monument to the eminent, for it is also what a monument can
seldom be—a record of their deeds. As a whole the work, which
involved an infinity of labour, much judgment, and some shrewd
insight into character, has been marvellously well done, so
that the great book will probably never be superseded, and will
possibly for centuries give the first impress to the judgment
of the inquirer into the history and doings of all English
notables.’

_LITERATURE._—‘The inception of the work, its steady and
business-like execution, and its reception by the public mark
something like AN EPOCH IN ENGLISH LITERARY HISTORY. Few
publications even in an age when collaboration is the fashion,
have brought together so many distinguished writers; none
certainly have done more to organise research and turn it to a
practical use.’

_EDINBURGH REVIEW._—‘A Dictionary of Biography on this scale
is A HISTORY OF OUR RACE. The biographies of sovereigns, and
statesmen, and warriors, written as they are in these volumes
with great fulness, do in fact contain the annals of their
lives. There is not in existence a more complete history of
England than is to be found in these volumes.’

_ATHENÆUM._—‘IN FULNESS, IN THOROUGHNESS, AND IN GENERAL
ACCURACY IT LEAVES LITTLE OR NOTHING TO BE DESIRED. It compares
very favourably with its two foreign models in most essential
points; and in one, at least, it is distinctly superior.
Neither the German nor the Belgian Dictionary indicates the
sources from which the matter in the text has been drawn with
equal completeness and precision. A careful bibliographical
note is appended to even the shortest of the articles; and in
some of the longer ones this note becomes nothing less than an
exhaustive critical digest, the utility of which can scarcely
be rated too highly.’

_DAILY TELEGRAPH._—‘A GREAT UNDERTAKING, WORTHILY DESIGNED, AND
ADMIRABLY EXECUTED.... We may at least say that the “Dictionary
of National Biography” has achieved in many respects the ideal
which was before the mind of Plutarch when he wrote his “Lives
of Greeks and Romans” at once to amuse and interest himself and
to edify and enlighten the world.’

_MORNING POST._—‘THE GREATEST UNDERTAKING OF THE CENTURY IN
ITS OWN FIELD OF ENDEAVOUR.... It must justly be said that
this vast undertaking will fill a yawning gap in the list of
dictionaries, and satisfy a want which must have been felt,
more or less strongly, by almost every English writer.’

_ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW._—‘The thoroughness of the work
is such that the Dictionary has become AN INDISPENSABLE BOOK
OF REFERENCE, and its influence will be strongly felt on the
scholarship of the next generation.’

_SPEAKER._—‘The book WILL LAST AS LONG AS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE,
and will preserve for all time not only the memory of the
greater personages of English history, which is in no danger,
but of that multitude of smaller luminaries whose light would
otherwise have been lost.’
