e his work well. In point of faithful realism there has thus far been nothing better in the whole war literature."--_Boston Journal_. "Clever and picturesque.... Over one hundred capital instantaneous photographs illustrate Mr. Hemment's well-written record, and not the least of the book's recommendations is the outspoken simplicity of its style, and the strong impression it makes upon the reader of being the uninfluenced evidence of an eyewitness who 'draws the thing as he sees it' and without exaggeration or prejudice."--_Sunday School Times_. Recollections of the Civil War. By CHARLES A. DANA. With Portrait. Large 12mo. Cloth, gilt top, uncut, $2.00. "The book will rank among the trustworthy sources of knowledge of the civil war."--_New York Evening Post_. "Mr. Dana's official position as Assistant Secretary of War while the rebellion was in progress gave him exceptional opportunities of observation which he was keen to take advantage of, while his rare gift of terse and vivid expression enabled him to record what he saw in a series of pen pictures that are little less than instantaneous photographs. The feature _par excellence_ of these reminiscences is their interesting character.... He tells you briefly but graphically what he saw, heard, or did himself. One gains a very real and personal knowledge of the war from these recollections."--_Chicago Times-Herald_. D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK.
