"The most entertaining of the volumes we have had about the Ten Weeks' Campaign in the spring.......

WILLIAM BLACKWOOD & SONS, EDINBURGH AND LONDON. WITH KITCHENER TO KHARTUM BY G. W. STEEVENS AUTHOR OF 'EGYPT IN 1898,' 'THE LAND OF THE DOLLAR, WITH THE WITH MAPS AND PLANS TENTH EDITION WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS MDCCCXCVIII SPU All Rights reserved THE original intention was to print the concluding chapters of this book from telegraphic reports. In consequence, however, of delays between Omdurman and wire-head, of the great interest attaching to the events of September 2nd and the ensuing days, and of the desirability of illustrating the account of the battle of Omdurman by plans, it has been thought better to delay the publication of this book a week, and produce the final chapters in a fuller form.
