This is one of the great enterprises of the day. The value of the work becomes more apparent as the numbers advance. The historical matter is really valuable; the sketches of individuals and incidents are admirably drawn, not only by the pen of the historian, but by the pencil of the artist; and both combined will make, when bound, one of the marked histories of this war, if not the great history of the war. There are official documents on every page, at the bottom, which add much to the value of the work. It will be found on the centre tables of thousands of our countrymen.-Boston Post.

It is edited by an accomplished scholar, a gentleman who occupies a good position for the collection of material, and one who wields a vigorous pen. He writes with strength and great spirit. It promises to be a very valuable as well as a very interesting book-one to which the eye of the child will turn for the illustrations of scenes with the names of which his young eyes have become sadly familiar; and the eye of the older reader will be attracted by the careful, studious, and conscientious manner in which the editor prepares his historical matter.— N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

We speak confidently in praise of the manner in which the work is brought out. ** This narrative, embellished by the picturesque illustrations, affords an interesting commentary on the war, and will be of priceless value for preservation.-Boston Advertiser.

In entrusting the composition of this work to an experienced and intelligent scholar, whose labors both as a critic in the higher walks of literature and art and a journalist have given no small weight of authority to the productions of his pen, the publishers have adopted the wisest course to secure its accuracy, artistic construction, and popular success.

And Heaven thy morn will bless."
