The defence of Mobile in 1865. By General Dabney H. Maury.
[We deem it a valuable service to the cause of historic truth to be able to present from time to time careful reviews of books about the war. And our readers will consider us fortunate in having secured the following review of General Andrews' book from the pen of the able soldier who made the gallant defence of Mobile against such overwhelming odds.]
History of the campaign of Mobile.
by brevet Major-General C. C. Andrews. D. Van Nostrand, publisher, &c.

The following, from the pen of the distinguished Vice-President of our Society, has recently appeared in the Philadelphia Weekly Times as one of their series of chapters of unwritten history, but our readers will thank us for reproducing it.]
At the beginning of the year 1865, the country had become much exhausted by the1865, the country had become much exhausted by the exertions and ravages of the war. Scarce a household but had lost some member of its family in the bloody conflicts of the war, to whose chances parents had hitherto consigned the lives of their children without doubt or hesitation.
In General Lee's skill and patriotism universal confidence was reposed, and, among many disposed by nature to be sanguine, hopes of final success were still entertained.
But among the considerate, and those who had staked and lost both family and fortune in the wa
