British War-Medals and How they were Won. By Thomas Carter.

Revised and enlarged by W. H. Long. (None and Wilson.)—Mr. Carter carried on his work up to the end of the year 1860; Mr. Long has revised the old material and added new, bringing his account down to the present time. As we have departed from the somewhat grudging policy of an earlier time, and even gone to the opposite extreme—giving medals on every occasion—there has been plenty for him to do. The volume contains much mili- tary history, and will be found both useful and interesting.
