JOMINI'S CAMPAIGN OF WATERLOO.

The Political and Military History of the Campaign of Waterloo,
from the French of Gen. Baron Jomini, by Lieut. S. V. Benet,
U. S. Ordnance, with a Map, 12mo, cloth, 75 cents.

"Of great value, both for its historical merit and its acknowledged impartiality."


Christian Freeman, Boston.

"It has long been regarded in Europe as a work of more than ordinary merit, while
to military men his review of the tactics and manœuvres of the French Emperor during
the few days which preceded his final and most disastrous defeat, is considered as
instructive, as it is interesting."

Arthur's Home Gazette.

"It is a standard authority and illustrates a subject of permanent interest. With
military students, and historical inquirers, it will be a favorite reference, and for the
general reader it possesses great value and interest."

Boston Transcript.

"It throws much light on often mooted points respecting Napoleon's military and
political genius. The translation is one of much vigor."

Boston Commonwealth.

"It supplies an important chapter in the most interesting and eventful period of Napoleon's
military career."

Savannah Daily News.

"It is ably written and skilfully translated."

Yankee Blade.
