"We believe the Literature of War has not received a more valuable augmentation
this century than Col. Napier's justly celebrated work. Though a gallant combatant in
the field he is an impartial historian."

Tribune.
"Napier's History, in addition to its superior literary merits and truthful fidelity,
presents strong claims upon the attention of all American citizens; because the author
is a large souled philanthropist and an inflexible enemy to ecclesiastical tyranny and
secular despots."

Post.
"The excellency of Napier's History results from the writer's happy talent for impetuous,
straight forward, soul-stirring narrative and picturing forth of characters
The military manœuvre, march, and fiery onset, the whole whirlwind vicissitudes of
the desperate fight, he describes with dramatic force."
