Now York: g. 7. Putnnm's Sous.
Twenty-Five sketches Of oelobratod command
ers are assembled together between theae cor-
ors, making quite d respectable compendium Of
military biography. The subjects all belong to
modern times, mono Of them having lourishcd
earlier than tho flftoonth century. Gonaalyo OF
Coraova. "tho great captain whose exploits
were 30 potent in extending the dominion and
increasing tho glory Of tho reign Of Ferdinand
and Isabella Of Spain, dates back tho fartheat.
After him follow the Chovalior BAyard, tho
Constable Bourbon, William Of Orange, the
Duke of Parma, Prince Wallenatein, and 40 on
down, In tho chronological order Of thoir snc-
eession to Lord Clyde, Marshal Molthe, Gen.
Leo, Gen. Sherman, aud Con. Grant.
Tho sketches arc simple and succiuct attempt
ing to DO no more than give plain statements Of
fact. AB auch they are useful; aud the author
has done service to the lovers Of biography
and Of military genius by extracting them from
more yoluminous works, and moIding them into
their present convenient shape.
