be laid down until the last line has been read."—
Leader.
"The Staff-Officer’s Diary is simple and brief,
and has a special interest, inasmuch as it gives a
fuller account than we have elsewhere seen of

The Staff-Otlicer brings home to us, by his details,
the nature of that underground contest, upon tlie
result of which tlie fate of the beleaguered garrison
