"'Mexico under Maximilian', by J. J. Kendall, late Captain H.M. 44th and 6th Regiments, and subsequently in the service of his late Majesty the Emperor of Mexico, is an interesting chapter of the history of Mexico under the unfortunate Emperor Maximilian, related by an eye-witness, and one who personally shared in the many dangers and horrors of the time. Captain Kendall writes graphically, and the story he tells loses none of its thrilling interest in his manner of telling it. The incidents are all of them attractive, and are described naturally and with no attempt at exaggeration."
