The Napoleonic Campaign of 1805. By Capt. F. W. 0.

Maycock, D.S.O. (Gale and Polden. 3s. 6d. net.)—This book gives a short and concise account of the year's campaign which ended with Austerlitz. Captain Maycock writes with vigour and a secure touch upon cardinal points. The book is intended for officers reading for promotion examinations, and may be expected to fulfil its object, for although Captain Maycock works from a compila- tion of recognized authorities, he has his own point of view, and leads his reader to think for himself. There are eight clear plans and maps.
