Similar lists, show! percentages of loss as based on the number present in action, also form a prominent and important feati: of the work.

KIND WORDS. From General William T. Sherman : " I have just concluded a perusal of the volume of statistical tables and other data entitled ' Regimental Losses in the American Civil War,' and want to assure you, even at this early moment, of the great value I place on the same. The volume bears every evidence of a laborious task, and you are certainly to be complimented for the great zeal which has characterized you in this connection. * * *" Very sincerely yours, W. T. SHERMAN, General. From Major-General Henry W. Slocum: " I have examined with great interest the excellent work, ' Regimental Losses in the Civil War.' I am confident that it will be regarded by those who participated in the struggle as the most valua ble historical work issued since the close of the war. I wish to express my sincere thanks to you for the many years of labor you must have spent in collecting and placing in such compact form such a great mass of valuable information relative to the war." _____ From Mr. J. W. Kirkley (ist Md. Vols.), Statistician of the War Department, Washington, D. C.: " I am delighted with it. * * I shall prize it highly." From Major-General Daniel E. Sickles : " It is a very valuable contribution to the annals of the Rebellion, and will be perused with deep interest by students of history, by those who took part in the war, and by their descendants." From William Todd, author of " The Tgtli New York Highlanders:" " ' Fox's Book of Martyrs' is a success. The coming historian will find it the best book to steal from of any yet published." From Major-General Russell A. Alger, of Michigan: "A work of this kind should lie in the library of every Grand Army post, and I am sure every old soldier, who is able, will want a copy of it in his own home." From Hon. George Bancroft, the Historian : " 1 find it excel lent in its completeness and accuracy." From General JV. M. Curtis, the "Hero of Fort Fisher:" " I especially commend the work because it corrects many of the fallacious ideas regarding this matter of losses in action. At the same time justice is rendered to many regiments hitherto unnoticed, and attention called to their brilliant records. This whole subject of regimental losses has, up to the appearance of Colonel Fox's book, been an unwritten chapter of the war, and I esteem it fortunate for the cause of history that the work has been so ably done." From General Francis A. Walker, autlior of History Second Army Corps; Supt. of Tenth U. S. Census ; Prest. of American Statistical Association, Boston, Mass.: "I have received the work, 'Regimental Losses in the Civil War,' and have gone through it again and again, always with more and more satisfaction at the excellent service rendered to military his tory and military statistics." From Benson J. Lasting, the Historian : " When the future historian of the Civil War shall, in the earlier decades of the 2oth century — with all the accumulated information concerning that stupendous and beneficent event — under take his easier task, he will find among his treasure no work more accurate, impartial, sadly suggestive and instructive than this volume." From Gtii. C/ias. J'. Mattocks (late Colonel I7th Maine): " I have never, since the war, read a book with greater interest. I consider it one of the most valuable contribu tions to war literature which we have had." WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, March 21, 1889. Albany Publishing Co. GENTLEMEN : Please send to this department a copy of " Regimental Losses in the Civil War, by Wm. F. Fox, Lt.-Col. (J. S. V.," together with your bill for the same. Very respectfully, JOHN TWEEDALE, Chief Clerk. ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE, ) BOSTON, April 12, 1889. f GENTLEMEN : You will please consider this department a subscriber to " Regimental Losses in the Civil War," and on receipt of the volume in half morocco the cost ($7.50) will be remitted. Respectfully, SAMUEL DALTON, Adjutant-General. From the Philadelphia Press: "Regimental Losses in the Civil War," by Colonel William F. Fox, is an exhaustive compilation from official records of the casualties on both sides of the war. The labor has taken many years. The result is, perhaps, the most valuable history of the war that has been published. Here are not opinions, but facts. Many of the revelations of this important book will astonish the reader. From the Army and Navy Journal: Especially interesting are the figures of the regular regiments, commands which have hitherto been overlooked and well-nigh forgotten in the mass of volunteer records. The pages devoted to these gallant regiments attest the heroism with which they faced the enemy's musketry, and the record of casualties indicates plainly the hard fighting which they encountered. From the New York Tribune: This is a remarkable and valuable book, and will be read by any American, especially by every old soldier, with deep and pathetic interest. It is the result of patient and conscientious labor for years on the part of the author. Its value as a military work has been indorsed by Generals Slocum, Sherman, Sickles, Alger, Curtis, and other prominent soldiers; as a history, it has re ceived the warm approval of Lossing and other historians ; while its statistics have been highly praised by General Francis A. Walker, Joseph W. Kirkley, and other noted sta tisticians. Furthermore, the authenticity of its figures is evidenced by the purchase of copies by the War Department at Washington, and by the Adjutant-Generals of the various States. The number of deaths and of the killed and wounded in action, and the mortality from disease and other causes, are given in this book, for every regiment in the Union Army. They are given clearly, accurately and for the first time. From the Albany Argus : Chapter III, in which the losses of our regiments in particular engagements are compared with the losses of European regiments is one of the most interest ing and instructive chapters in the book. From the Grand Army Review : Availing himself of every attainable source of information, and the cordial cooperation of the Adjutant-Generals of the United States Army and the various States, he has boiled down and carefully sifted his material till the result is a monument to his patience, ability, and judicial fairness. He has given admirable brief histories of " Three Hundred Fighting Regiments," not necessarily the bravest, as he says, but those which the fortunes of war caused to endure the heaviest losses and to serve through most battles. From the Syracuse Herald: Colonel William F. Fox, of the State Forestry Commission, has just published one of the most valuable statistical works that has yet been put in print relative to the late Civil War. The publication of the official records of the Union and Confederate Armies by the Adjutant-General's office at Washington has been going on for many years, and it will be many years more before the work will be completed. As every one knows who has seen this work as far as it has progressed, it is altogether too large and bulky for individual possession. What Colonel Fox has done, in a word, is to reduce this ponderous publication to what might be called, in comparison, a hand-book. From the Nation: The treatise is absolutely free from all discussion of battles or campaigns in any tactical or strate gical sense. It deals with no might-have-beens, but confines itself strictly to a recital of facts without expression of opin ion upon the facts. This self-control is the more remarkable because of the author's intimate acquaintance with the fam ily history of the army, developed by the years of study that have gone into this book. This silence adds greatly to the value of the work. But it is a soldierly reticence, not the dullness of ignorance or indifference. He simply does not wander beyond his self-appointed lines. From the Grand Army Gazette: A very important feature of the work is the chapter containing the Corps histories, which cannot fail to interest every old veteran who wore a corps badge, or belonged to any one of those famous organizations. From the Detroit Free Press: The book is a large quarto, handsomely bound, an'd the typographical treatment is of the best. _17883
