History of the War in France and Belgium, in 1815; Containing Minute Details of Quatre-Bras, Ligny, Wavre, and Waterloo. By Captain W. Siborne, Secretary and Adjutant of the Royal Military Asylum; constructor of the “Waterloo Model” first American from the Second London edition. With Plans of the Battles and Maps. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard.

A beantifully [[beautifully]] printed volume of nearly 650 pages. Captain Siborne, it is well understood, had access, through his staff appointment, as well as through private interest, to the most authentic sources of information, and his work was looked for with the greatest interest in England, as one that would settle a great many disputed points in reference to the Waterloo campaigns. Since the issue of the book, much has been said against it — but a very great deal more in its favor, and we ure inclined to side with its supporters. An unmistakeable air of candor pervades every page, and the accuracy of detail seems to be self-demonstrated. The manner is exceedingly good.
