Although Mr. Wraxall treats more especially of the Armies of France, Austria, England, Russia, and Prussia, he has not omitted those of Sardinia, Turkey, and Anglo-India. The value of such a Manual can hardly be over-estimated.

"To all whose interest in the noble art of national self-defence is as real as it should be, a compilation like Mr. Wraxall's has considerable value."-Saturday Magazine.

"We congratulate Dr. Forbes Watson on having produced so useful
and so practical a work, and on having diffused knowledge upon all material
points connected with the clothing of the people of India, which heretofore
had been unattainable. His book is written in a clear and thoroughly
intelligible style throughout; it is handsomely got up, and embellished by
numerous coloured photographs, from which the various styles of costume
and portion of clothing, male and female, will be more readily understood
than from mere description. The colours, too, of the various fabrics are
given from the articles themselves, and we would in particular invite atten-
tion to the plates at page 118, all or most being figures of respectable
Mohammedans in Upper India in rich dresses, as conveying excellent
impressions of colour and effect in native Indian costume."-Times.
