WORKS BY W. H. FITCHETT, B.A., LL.D.
Nelson and His Captains: Sketches of Famous Seamen. With 11 Portraits and a Facsimile Letter. Crown 8vo, 6s.
PUNCH.—‘My Baronite, having read all Dr. Fitchett’s tales of battle on land, thinks his best piece is his sea piece.... Saxon and Celt reading the glowing narrative will feel proud to know it’s all true.’
ACADEMY.—‘A spirited picture of Nelson and his times.... The story which the author has to tell is almost incredible in its directness of detail, but certainly fascinating in its charm.’
The Tale of the Great Mutiny. Second Impression. With 8 Portraits and 4 Plans. Crown 8vo, 6s.
GUARDIAN.—‘It is almost impossible to lay the book down. The Story of those summer months of 1857 must ever appeal to English readers.’
BOOKMAN.—‘Written with all the swing and dash, with all the careful accuracy and brilliant descriptive power which have made Dr. Fitchett’s books so deservedly popular.’
How England Saved Europe: the Story of the Great War (1793-1815). Second Impression. In 4 vols., crown 8vo, with Portraits, Facsimiles, and Plans, 6s. each.
TIMES.—‘The story is broadly told, but very vigorously. It is not without significance that this excellent “Story of the Great War,” at once popular in the best sense, well-informed, full of instruction, and very attractively written, should be the work of a Colonial writer.’
GUARDIAN.—‘Mr. Fitchett has achieved a real success, and the boy who cannot read these volumes with pleasure (and profit) is hopeless. They are, if boyhood would but see it, more enthralling than half the novels published.’
Fights for the Flag. Second Edition. With 16 Portraits, 13 Plans, and a Facsimile Letter of the Duke of Marlborough. Crown 8vo, 6s.
SPECTATOR.—‘“Fights for the Flag” is as good as “Deeds that Won the Empire.” To say more than this in praise of the book before us is unnecessary, for “Deeds that Won the Empire” was one of the best collection of popular battle studies ever given to the public.... No writer ever had more completely the art of making one realise how opposing forces move both by land and sea.’
REVIEW OF REVIEWS.—‘This is the second volume of the series which has achieved one of the greatest literary successes of our time.... As a gift-book, or as a book to take up and read at odd moments, or to devour at a prolonged sitting, this book has few equals, and will probably equal or eclipse the popularity of its predecessors.’
Deeds that Won the Empire. Fourteenth Edition. With 16 Portraits and 11 Plans. Crown 8vo, 6s.
SPECTATOR.—‘Not since Macaulay ceased to write has English literature produced a writer capable of infusing such life and vigour into historical scenes. The wholesome and manly tone of Mr. Fitchett’s book is specially satisfactory.... The book cannot but take the reader by storm wherever it finds him.’
TIMES.—‘“Deeds that Won the Empire” is admirably conceived and written. Wolfe’s striking feat of arms at Quebec, Hawke’s splendid victory in Quiberon Bay, Busaco, Albuera, the Nile, the action of the Shannon and Chesapeake, with other memorable fights by sea and land, are vividly described. Mr. Fitchett has not sacrificed historical accuracy to dramatic effect, and his words ring true.’
Wellington’s Men: some Soldier-Autobiographies. (‘Kincaid’s Adventures in the Rifle Brigade’; ‘Rifleman Harris’; Anton’s ‘Military Life’; Mercer’s ‘Waterloo.’) Edited by W. H. Fitchett, M.A., LL.D. Crown 8vo, 6s.
SPECTATOR.—‘Fitchett has ere this sounded the clarion and filled the fife to good purpose, but he has never done better work than in rescuing from oblivion the narratives which appear in this volume. Here we have the incidents of war told by the actors themselves, and each actor saw a different side of the thing, and had his own way of telling about it. We feel very grateful to Mr. Fitchett for his skilful editing of four stories which ought not to be allowed to die.’

London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place, S. W.
WORKS BY FRANK T. BULLEN, F.R.G.S.
Deep Sea Plunderings. Third Impression. With 8 Full-page Illustrations by Arthur Twidle. Crown 8vo, 6s.
SPECTATOR.—“A new book of sea stories from Mr. Bullen is an event which all who enjoy an exciting narrative set forth in a picturesque and animated manner have good reason to be thankful for.... There is something in the book to please almost every taste, and very little to call for serious criticism.... The book deserves to be, and will be, read by all who look to literature to provide them with refreshment and recreation.”
TIMES.—“Mr. Bullen’s name is sufficient recommendation for a collection of most miscellaneous stories, all smacking strongly of the brine. In ‘Deep Sea Plunderings’ be does exciting and informing work, and in the depths of the ocean finds inexhaustible treasure.”
The Men of the Merchant Service. Being the Polity of the Mercantile Marine for ‘Longshore Readers.’ Second Impression. Large post 8vo, 7s. 6d.
SPECTATOR.—“The book is of great value, and of great interest to all the innumerable people who are curious about the most romantic and separate of lives. But it is of importance, secondly and chiefly, as Mr. Bullen’s appeal to the political sense of his country. Put as briefly as possible, it comes to this. The control of the sea is vital to England; and the English, though they continue to be a great ship-owning people, are less and less a seafaring people. English ships are increasingly manned by foreigners and officered by foreigners. We cannot commend his volume too earnestly to public consideration. England’s tenure of her position in the world depends on her merchant marine no less than on her Navy, and in neither one nor the other can she afford to rely on mercenaries.”
ACADEMY.—“We could not in a short space convey any idea of the variety of special information—all so human and related-that Mr. Bullen gives.... We only prick a book that is bulged with seacraft, and resembles the perfect sailor whose every hair is a ropeyarn and every drop of blood Stockholm tar.”
The Cruise of the “Cachalot” Round the World After Sperm Whales. By Frank T. Bullen, First Mate. The volume includes a Letter to the Author from Rudyard Kipling. Ninth Impression. With 8 Illustrations and a Chart. Large post 8vo, 8s. 6d.
TIMES.—“Mr. Bullen has a splendid subject, and be handles it with the pen of a master.... ‘The Cruise of the Cachalot’ is a book which cannot but fascinate all lovers of the sea, and all who can appreciate a masterly presentation of its wonder and its mystery, its terrors and its trials, its humours and its tragedies.”
The Rev. Dr. HORTON, in his Sermon on behalf of the British and Foreign Bible Society, referred to Mr. Bullen’s ‘Cruise of the Cachalot’ in the following terms:
“It is a very remarkable book in every way: it seems to me worthy to rank with some of the writings of Defoe. It has absolutely taken the shine out of some of the romantic literature of such writers as even Stevenson and Rudyard Kipling. By the strange law that truth is more wonderful than fiction, this book is more wonderful than the wildest dreams of the creator of imagination.”
The Log of a Sea-Waif. Being Recollections of the First Four Years of my Sea Life. Third Impression. With 8 Full-page Illustrations specially drawn by Arthur Twidle. Large post 8vo, 8s. 6d.
WORLD.—“We have read many stories of sea life, but do not remember to have been so fascinated and enthralled by any of them as by this masterly presentation of the humours, hardships, and minor tragedies of life in the forecastle.”
TIMES.—“Full of thrilling adventure, admirably told.... We must leave Mr. Bullen’s touching story of his early struggles and adventures to speak for itself. His descriptive powers are great, his literary imagination is vivid, and he finds abundant opportunities for the display of both.”

A FEW REPRESENTATIVE OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
TIMES.—‘One of the most enduring and one of the most important literary monuments of the time in which we live. Indeed, it is no hyperbole to say that the Dictionary is much more than this. In many respects it is unique—in its immense bulk and scope, in the high standard of excellence it maintains throughout, in the literary eminence and scholarly reputation of so many of its contributors, in the amazing regularity of its appearance from first to last.’
SPECTATOR.—‘A work of National importance. It will by degrees and in course of years correct a great national fault—the tendency to forget men who are worthy of remembrance.... No statue will recall an eminent individual as this Dictionary of Biography will recall them all. It is more than a great monument to the eminent, for it is also what a monument can seldom be—a record of their deeds. As a whole the work, which involved an infinity of labour, much judgment, and some shrewd insight into character, has been marvellously well done, so that the great book will probably never be superseded, and will possibly for centuries give the first impress to the judgment of the inquirer into the history and doings of all English notables.’
LITERATURE.—‘The inception of the work, its steady and business-like execution, and its reception by the public mark something like an epoch in English literary history. Few publications even in an age when collaboration is the fashion, have brought together so many distinguished writers; none certainly have done more to organise research and turn it to a practical use.’
EDINBURGH REVIEW.—‘A Dictionary of Biography on this scale is a history of our race. The biographies of sovereigns, and statesmen, and warriors, written as they are in these volumes with great fulness, do in fact contain the annals of their lives. There is not in existence a more complete history of England than is to be found in these volumes.’
ATHENÆUM.—‘In fulness, in thoroughness, and in general accuracy it leaves little or nothing to be desired. It compares very favourably with its two foreign models in most essential points; and in one, at least, it is distinctly superior. Neither the German nor the Belgian Dictionary indicates the sources from which the matter in the text has been drawn with equal completeness and precision. A careful bibliographical note is appended to even the shortest of the articles; and in some of the longer ones this note becomes nothing less than an exhaustive critical digest, the utility of which can scarcely be rated too highly.’
DAILY TELEGRAPH.—‘A Great undertaking, worthily designed, and admirably executed.... We may at least say that the “Dictionary of National Biography” has achieved in many respects the ideal which was before the mind of Plutarch when he wrote his “Lives of Greeks and Romans” at once to amuse and interest himself and to edify and enlighten the world.’
MORNING POST.—‘The greatest undertaking of the century in its own field of endeavour.... It must justly be said that this vast undertaking will fill a yawning gap in the list of dictionaries, and satisfy a want which must have been felt, more or less strongly, by almost every English writer.’
ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW.—‘The thoroughness of the work is such that the Dictionary has become an indispensable book of reference, and its influence will be strongly felt on the scholarship of the next generation.’
SPEAKER.—‘The book will last as long as the English language, and will preserve for all time not only the memory of the greater personages of English history, which is in no danger, but of that multitude of smaller luminaries whose light would otherwise have been lost.’
