The Great Boer War:
A TWO YEARS' RECORD, 1899-1901.
By A. CONAN DOYLE.

This Edition is as complete as possible. It forms a Record of the two years of warfare which expired on October 11th and gives the first connected account, largely derived from private sources, of the operations of the last year in South Africa.

STANDARD.-'The book is unquestionably the best complete narrative for popular use which has yet appeared.'

REPRESENTATIVE PRESS OPINIONS.

PUNCH.-

'It is difficult to read straight on through "The Great Boer War" by reason of the tears that dim the eyes as the sorrowful story is told. Conan Doyle made his reputation as a novelist: stranger far than fiction is the tale he has to tell of the campaign in South Africa. . . . He has thoroughly mastered the plan and the details of the campaign, and presents them in a shape that can be understood of the people. His descriptions of the various engagements are masterpieces of graphic writing.'

QUEEN.-

'Whatever histories of the war in South Africa are written, Dr. Conan Doyle's "Great Boer War" must remain the history. . . . The book is marvelously exciting, admirably lucid, and scrupulously just.'

WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.-

'Mr. Conan Doyle may be congratulated very heartily on having written, in "The Great Boer War," a book which will delight and interest a wide circle of readers. Nowhere will the reader obtain a truer or more graphic picture of the warfare of the kopje and the veldt, nor of the difficulties which our generals had to overcome. The book is also a marvel of conciseness.'

SPECTATOR.-

'The conditions under which Dr. Conan Doyle's animated and valuable record was written relieve it from the dangers of red-hot impressionism. . . . When to these opportunities are added that manly temper and command of forcible and picturesque language which have won him distinction in the field of fiction, it is not to be wondered at that the result should prove as engrossing as any of his novels.'

DAILY TELEGRAPH.-

'This volume is almost certain to become the standard popular history of the great drama which is now drawing to its close in South Africa. . . . Dr. Doyle reviews the whole course of the war, and he tells his story in vivid chapters which make the pulse of the reader beat faster as lie reads. To the strict impartially of the historian he adds the warmth of a novelist's imagination, and the result is a book which will be read with the keenest pleasure for long days to come '

DAILY NEWS. -

'This sketch of the war is a masterly performance. It is hardly possible to over-praise it. . . . The experience, the artistic sense, and the creative powers of a great writer are seen in the achievement.'

GRAPHIC.-

'To Dr. Conan Doyle must be given the credit of having produced by far the best and most comprehensive book on the South African War which has yet appeared. . . . It is unnecessary to say that the book is vigorously written.'

MORNING POST.-

'No one who takes up Dr. Conan Doyle's story of the "Great Boer War" will lay it down without reluctance until the end is reached. It is a brilliant piece of work, a true story told with masterly effect and conscientious mastery of detail.'

STANDARD.-

'Dr. Conan Doyle has brought to the story of "The Great Boer War" those gifts of vivid description and that glowing style which have placed him in the front rank of writers of fiction. There is an energy about the book, a sense of rapid movement, a vitality of phrase that will stimulate the most jaded reader.'
