SIR JOHN MOORE.

Together with our sixth Number, pabushed April 1, was published à SUPPLEMENT, price 2s. 6d containing the life and campaigns of Sir JOHN MOORE, with a portrait of Sir John Moore, by Cardon, for which Sir John sat to Mr. Carton immediately presjonsly to his departure to Portugal. The publisher is enabled to say, that the portrait is the first specimen of engraving in England, and the only likeness of Sir John. The publisher has a pride in presenting it to the army through the medium of the Military Chronicle.

With respect to the life of Sir John, it contains as much as a large octavo volume, published at 128. being all in smail print, and occupying the whole Supplement. The price of the portrait, if published alone by itself, would be 78. This Supplement concludes the first volume.

It is requested that the letters for the Editor may be addressed to Mr. J. DAVIS, Military Chronicle office, 36, Essex street, Strand

Orders for this work to be given to the Booksellers of the respective towns in which they order.

Orders for abroad to be sent in a letter to Mr. THORNHILL, General Post Office, Lombard street, London, who will send them to any pair of the world.
