Wellington's Battlefields Illustrated : Bussaco. By Lieutenant- Colonel G. L.

Chambers. (Swan Sonnenschein and Co. 7s. 6d. net.)-Massena had about sixty-two thousand men in the field; Wellington fifty-two thousand, about two-fifths of the latter being Portuguese. The British loss was about fourteen hundred ; that of the French between five and six thousand. It will be remem- bered that it was a battle of attack by the French. Wellington concealed his strength as his manner was, and Massena felt confident of success. "I have him," he said; "I shall drown the leopard." Here the reader may find every detail of the struggle, illustrated with pictures and photographs.
