Each map is accompanied with a statement of the generals and number of men engaged on both sides, to which is appended the reason for such battle or engagement, with remarks by the author, who is excellent authority in military matters.--_The Educator (New Haven, Ct.)_.
A valuable compilation from the author's large work, and cannot fail to make a more lasting impression upon the reader's mind than could be derived from the perusal of many volumes of history.--_N.Y. Herald_.
Each map is accompanied by a page of text, arranged upon a compact and original system, so as to present a singularly clear view of the history and significance of the engagement in question, the names of the chief and subordinate commanders, the forces, nominal and available, the losses on each side, and the incidents of the battle.--_N.Y. Evening Post_.

[Illustration: CREOSOTE STAINS. Patented Apr. 29th, 1884. for Shingles, Clapboards & other exterior woodwork. Sam'l Cabot Jr. Sole Manufacturer 70 Kilby St. Boston. Descriptive Circular by mail on application.]
These Stains have been _Largely_ and _Successfully_ used during the past few seasons.
Owing to the strange PRESERVATIVE POWER of the Creosote, wood treated with this Stain _cannot decay_ but simply wears away from the force of the weather.
The Stain in weathering does not become shabby like paint; but the surfaces assume weather beaten grays, very _soft_ and _harmonious_, and varying slightly according to the original hue. The Stain may be renewed at any time with _little trouble_ or expense, as the natural hues which nature gives in combination with the stain are allowed to stay.
Houses treated with these Stains may be seen at almost any of the _seaside_ and _suburban_ resorts of NEW ENGLAND, and on the NEW JERSEY and LONG ISLAND COASTS.
FOR ARTISTIC COLORING EFFECTS THEY ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO PAINT, WHILE THEIR PRESERVATIVE POWER MAKES THEM DOUBLY VALUABLE.
For full descriptive circular, samples and price-list, address SAMUEL CABOT, 70 Kilby Street, Boston, Mass.
