The utility of a work like the present, as a means of promoting
and extending that thirst of glory and confidence in victory, which
has so happily, of late years, animated every rank of the British
Navy, will be univer.ally acknowledged. Its sole object is to
render familiar to young seamen the illustrious examples afforded
by the live; and actions of the greatest characters.

THE IVIONTHLY VsRMY LIST.
PRICE ONLY ONE SIIILLING.
THE ARMY and the Public are respectfully in.
formed that the Monthly Army List, to be Published on
the First of February, will a.; usual, and exclusively, contain the
EXACT QUARTERS OF THE WHOLE OF THE ARMY
Al' HOME AND ABROAD, together with a correct Plan of •

the Harbour of Corunna, and the Scite of the late Engagements.
After the wretched Essay, made by some inferior Clerks in the
War-Office, to divert the Patronage of the Army and the Public
from an old established and universally recognized Work, it
would be trifiing to insist formally on the unrivalled•pretensions
of this original Publication. Every person who has compared
the two Lists, must' have been struck with, the countless Errors
and palpable Blunders contained in a Work pretending to an
official character; and which certainly possesses no other claim
to the notice of the Public, than from its having impudently
pirated the exact Title-page aid Plan of an original and indepen-
dent Work. _ _ _

The genuine and original Monthly Army List may this Month
be distinguished from the spurious one by its plan of Corunna ;
and at all times by its containing the entire and exact Quarters of
the whole Army—a Feature of a Monthly Arniy List, which
constitutes its chief value.—London, lan. 26, 1809.

- MILITARY BOOKS.
The want of good Military. Books in the English Lenguage, is nee
torious even to a proverb; an endeavour, therefore, to suf.
ply the deficiency, will, it is presumed, be hououred with en-
couragement by every lover of the beterests and glory of bus
country. The under-mentioned Works are calculated for the
Use and study of all the Senior and Junior Officers of every
kind of Force, and it is presumed they will be read with avidity
throughout the English Army at home and abroad. •
