Excerpt from Incidents of the War: Humorous, Pathetic, and Descriptive That Incidents of the War will be found is structive and entertaining, we can but believe, although Mr. Burnett's professional engagements precluded the possibility of his devoting that time and attention to its preparation which was almost imperative. It lays no particular claim to merit as a literary production being a collection of letters and incidents, which Mr. B.'s publishers thought would be palatable to the pub lic in their present form. In the volume will be found several pieces for the superior rendition of which Mr. Burnett has been highly extolled. At the close will be found a famous debate, which, although not an incident of the war, is peculiarly spirited, and was delivered by Mr. Burnett before General Rosecrans. For the graphic illustrations accompanying the vol ume, Mr. Burnett is indebted to Messrs. Jones Hart, engravers, and Messrs. Ball dz Thomas, photographic artists.
