A GREAT ENTERPRISE.
CHAPTERS au (lie CIVIL WAR
The important feature of thje Cen
tury Magazine for the coming year—
indeed, perhaps t'ae most important
ever undertaken ty the Magazine—
will be a series of separate papers on
the great battles of the War for the
Union, written by general officers
high in command upon both the Fed
eral and the Confederate sides, —Gen-
eral Grant (who writes of Vicksburg,
Shiloh, and other battles). Generals

Roseccrans,llill, Admiral Porter,and
others. The series opens in the No

illustrated article on
The Battle of Ball Run,
written by the Confederate general,
G. T. Beauregard. Brief sketches,
entitled “Kecollections of a Private,”
papers chronicliugspecial events, de
scriptions of certain auxiliary bran
ches of the service, etc, will supple
ment the more important series by tire
various generals.
A strict regard for accuracy will
guide the preparation of the illustra
tions, for which The Cenlurv has at
its disposal a very large quautl'y of
photographs, drawings, portraits
maps, plans, etc, hitherto unused.
The aim is to pieiciit in this series,

operations,—interesting personal ex
periences which will record leading
events ol the war, and possess, at the
same time, a historical value not easi
ly calculated.
