per. and the pondernus Tome of tho historian,
written long after the living interest in the facts
he records shall have passed away. Tho pro-
gress of the War in the East occupies IL large
space in their pages. Every movement is close
ly criticised, VIII .thcr of friend of foe. and all
shortcomings fcarcssly pointed out. Tho let
tcrs from the CRlMEA and from the BALTIC
in Blackwood's Magazine, from two of its most
popular contributors, give more inclliyihlr
