AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF
GEORGE LAVAL CRESTERTON, formerly of the Field-
Tram Department of the Royal Artillery, subsequently a Captain in
the Army of Columbia, and at present Governor of the House of
Correction at Cold Bath Fields
"Mr. Chesterton has not only seen much that is worth the telling
—he possesses a turn for anecdote and a flow of spirits so abundant
as to make his manner of telling it eminently light and pleasing."—
thenceum.
" A bounoinT with much curious personal and historical adventure,
now at the cannon's mouth, now in. foraging parties or in camp, it
sparkles with anecdote and kindly reminiscences; and Is charac-
terised throughout by a flow of incident and energy that goes largely
to prove how much stranger and how much more acceptable is truth
than fiction It is the remarkable history of a very remarkable man
—the welcome instructive autobiography of a soldier, a scholar, and
a gentleman."— Literary Gazette.

MR. THACKERAY'S LECTURES on the
ENGLISU lIIIMOURISTS of the 18th CENTURY.
"To those who attended the lectures, the book will be a pleasant
reminiscence, to others an exciting novelty. The style—clear,
idiomatic, forcible, familiar, but never slovenly; the searching
strokes of sarca4m or irony; the occa.ional flashes of generous seem ;
the touches of patho, pity, and tenderness ; the morality tempered,
but never weakened, by experience and sympathy ; the felicitous
phrases, the striking anecdotes, the passages of wise, practical reflec-
tion ; all these lose much less than we could have expected from the
absenco of the voice, manner, and look of the lecturer."--Spectator.
" What fine things the leo, ures contain ! What eloquent and subtle
sayings, what wise and earnest writing ! How delightful are their
turns of humour; with what a touching effect, in the graver pas-
sages, the genuine feeling of the man comes out; and how vividly
the thoughts are painted, as it were, in graphic and characteristic
words."—Examiner.
