W. M'Dowall, Printer, Pemberton Row. Gough square, London. Printed by W. M'Dowall, Pemberton Row, Gough Square, Fleet-street, FOR J. DAVIS, MILITARY CHRONICLE OFFICE, ESSEX STREET, STRAND; AND TO BE HAD OF THE BOOKSELLERS. TO CORRESPONDENTS. WE shall say nothing more at present to our Readers and Correspondents, than te refer them to the MILITARY CHRONICLE of next Month, which we presume that in every respect they will find what they wish. The Art of War—the History of the War, and an Obituary on a new plan will all be found. The number of the MILITARY CHRONICLE Sold exceeds already what could possibly be believed if we were to state it; but I shall not feel myself satisfied till we reach the Seven Thousand; and I intend to make it my effort, next winter (beginning from October) to effect it Two booksellers alone, who will vouch for the truth of what we assert, are in the habit of taking from 15 to 16 hundred of us every month-Messrs. SHERWOOD and JONES, and Messrs. GALE and CURTIS, Paternoster-row. I can only express my very warm gratitude to the Army. The unusual length of the Gazettes has compelled us to defer some valuable articles. Our Supplement which will be published on the 1st of next month will contain, price Two Shillings and Six-pence, THE LIFE OF CHARLES THE TWELFTH OF SWEDEN.-By Voltaire.Printed verbatim from the best English translation; containing the most singular campaigns of that Warrior and Conqueror, the greatest part of which were made on ground which is now the Scene of War between the Emperors Napoleon and Alexander. The price of this book amongst the Booksellers, (in octavo), is Half-a-guinea; it is here presented verbatim, in royal octavo, price Half-a-crown. THE SPANISH GRAMMAR, for the use of Officers, has been published some days, and may be had of every bookseller. The Fourteenth Number of the Military Classics is published this day, and contains the continuation of Plutarch. |
