+SOUDAN CAMPAIGN, HISTORY of the.+ By Col. H. E. COLVILLE, C.B., Grenadier Guards. Compiled in the Intelligence Division of the War Office. In two parts, with case of Maps. Part I. contains the Events leading up to the Nile Expedition, and its History to the Departure of the Desert Column from Korti. Part II., from the Departure of the Desert Column to the conclusion of the Campaign.
“Whatever may be thought of general history, there is no doubt that military history is written with a definite object. The soldier studies a past campaign in order the better to be able to conduct a future one.... For the soldier Colonel Colville’s book is a mine of valuable information. Its military lessons are summoned up in one word—transport. From Cairo to Khartoum is 1000 miles in a straight line, and 1400 miles by the Nile. The country affords no supplies. The problem, therefore, was to move a small army to within a practicable distance of Khartoum in such a way that it may be fed during its advance, and when at its destination may still have stores to last for some time. The official history shows how this problem was solved, and how infinitely difficult it was. The British army never came out more brilliantly from any trial than from this contest with the wilderness.”—_Manchester Guardian._

+MANUAL FOR ARMY MEDICAL SERVICES.+ By W. E. RIORDAN, Surgeon-Major, Medical Staff.
“Although it is primarily no doubt intended for medical officers, yet it embraces such a range of important information as must render it of use to every branch of the service, and even to civilians who want a book of the kind for handy reference. While he takes the official War Office regulations and manuals to build upon, and freely lays under tribute the regulations of every branch of the service, yet the result is no mere dry compilation of Army Acts and Orders, but a book full of original and collected matter of a most useful and interesting character.... The modern army medical officer has no longer, like his predecessor, to grope about for want of definite instructions; with his new medical regulations in one pocket, and this volume in the other, he can safely take up any duty. We heartily congratulate Surgeon-Major Riordan on his really admirable book; and as his best reward may he find it, where it deserves to be, in the hands of every medical officer, whether of the regular or the auxiliary forces.”—_The British Medical Journal._
“This useful volume is in the nature of a supplement to the War Office Regulations upon which it is based. It fills in the details which they necessarily lack, and elucidates and explains them; and it is, moreover, a comprehensive handbook to all matters which affect the physical well-being of the soldier.”—_Army and Navy Gazette._

The Broad Arrow and Naval & Military Gazette.
_EVERY SATURDAY._ Established 1833. _PRICE SIXPENCE._
+The Broad Arrow and Naval & Military Gazette+ has by far the largest circulation of all the Military Papers. This results from the reputation it has acquired for early and exclusive intelligence, from the high character of its articles, the independent course of its staff of writers, and from its earnest support of all measures for the good of the Services. Articles on specially interesting subjects appear from week to week written for the most part by officers of rank and experience, or by men of note in literature who have made the Naval and Military affairs of the country their special study.
The ordinary weekly issue of +The Broad Arrow and Naval & Military Gazette+ contains fully one-fourth more matter than the other Service Journals, even with their frequent supplements.
+The Broad Arrow and Naval & Military Gazette+ circulates largely throughout India and the Colonies. It is supplied direct to the Army and Marine bureaux of the French, Russian, and other Governments, and it is read extensively by Officers of Foreign Services, especially of the German, French, and American Armies, who desire to acquire a true impression of facts and public opinion in England regarding Military affairs.
