"The new installment of a work which has already become a classic
will be read with increased interest by Americans because of the
importance of the period it covers and the stirring events it
describes. In advance of a careful review we present to-day some
extracts from the advance sheets sent us by Messrs. Porter &
Coates, which will give our readers a foretaste of chapters which
bring back to memory so many half-forgotten and not a few hitherto
unvalued details of a time which Americans of this generation at
least cannot read of without a fresh thrill of excitement."
