Form, its story as it is told in the words of the gallant hero. The narrative, to adopt the comment upon it of a military critic, is written in a terse, vigorous, and picturesque style. It will well repay perusal, and cannot fail to convince the reader that power and accuracy of de scription are not among the least accomplishments of this distinguished soldier.
