"THE CAMP, THE BATTLEFIELD AND
THE HOsPITAL" is the title of hand
some volume, just issued by the New
England Publishing Company, Bos-
ton, Mass. The author has delved
most industricusly amongst the mass
es of curious incidents which have
marked the late war, and has grouped
and classified them under appropriate
heads, and in very attractive form.
There is a certain portion of the
war that will never go into theregular
histories, and will not get embodied
in romance or poetry, which is a very
real part of it, and will, if preserved
convey to succeeding generations a
better idea of the spirit of the con-
flict than many dry reports or careful
narratives of events, and this part
may be called the gossip, the fun, the
pathos, of the war.
These illustrate the character of
the leaders, the humor Of the soldiers,
J the devotion Of women, the bravery
of men, the pluck of our heroes, the
romance and hardships Of the service.
From the beginning of the war the
author DR.. l.. p. Brockett, has been
engaged in collecting all the anec-
dotes connected with or illustrative
of it.
The volume is profusely illustrated
with over 100 engravings by the first
artists, which are really beautiful
worthy Of examination as specimens o
the art. The books contents include
"reminiscences of camp,picket,Spy, scout
bivouac, siege and battlefield adven
lures; thrilling feats of bravery, wit
drollery, comical and ludicrous adven
lures, etc, etc.
Amusement as well as instruction
may be found in every page, as graph
ic detail, brilliant wit, and authenti
history, are skillfully interviewer i
this work of literary art.
1t is just such volume as will fin
numerous purchasers, and just such
one as persons seeking to act as boo
agents should add to their list.
