This article presents information on the book "Glimpses Through the Cannon Smoke," by Archibald Forbes. It is informed that the above mentioned book is made up of sixteen sketches, only a portion of which would seem to justify its title by relating to warlike themes. It is rather curious to observe how Mr. Forbes's writing fails in interest as he leaves the special topics which have most contributed to his reputation. Several of the non-military sketches in the book would almost seem to have been done by another hand than his, and are lacking in spirit and continuity of narration. It is opined that the book is not that well adapted to Americans as to English readers.
