1864.THE VOLUNTEERS' ROLL OF HONOR.
JUSTICE TO OUR GALLANT SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
Though the present war has brought into existence a vast number of Histories and Personal Narratives, yet no work has, until now, appeared, devoted entirely to the cause of the Noble Men who have fought and died, and who are still fighting and dying in the Holy Cause of their Country.
It is, therefore, to supply this want that we have commenced the publication of THE VOLUNTEERS' ROLL OF HONOR.
The ROLL OF HONOR is issued in Monthly Numbers. Each number is complete in itself, and is Magnificently Illustrated by the most Celebrated Artists.
Every Engraving represents some scene taken directly from the text of the book itself.
The Roll of Honor is in fact, a Casket, in which will be preserved the correct name of every Soldier or Sailor who has performed an act of daring or gallantry in his Country's behalf. The proper number of his Regiment, and letter of his Company, or name of his Vessel will, also, be strictly recorded, together with a full narrative of the deed he performed. Such a work, it must be apparent, possesses MORE ROMANCE THAN A NOVEL—MORE THRILLINGNESS THAN ANY OTHER VOLUME OF ADVENTURES, AND ALL THE TRUTH OF HISTORY, and is, therefore, more desirable to the Reading Public than any other work.
Relatives and friends of Volunteers, and Volunteers themselves, by sending us a correct account of any praiseworthy or gallant deed, together with the Name, Regiment, Ship, &c., of the performer, shall have the same recorded in THE ROLL OF HONOR.
In addition to our other inducements, we have determined to make the Following Splendid Offer:
To that person in the Army, or out of it, sending us by JANUARY 1ST 1864, the largest number of Subscribers to the
| ROLL OF HONOR, we will present | $200 00 |
| Second largest number | 150 00 |
| Third " " | 125 00 |
| Fourth " " | 80 00 |
| Fifty " " | 60 00 |
| Sixth " " | 50 00 |
| Seventh " " | 40 00 |
On the same day, we will also award to the Volunteer, who shall be decided by a Committee of our most distinguished Generals, to have performed the bravest deed in the cause of his Country, $200 00.
In case the Volunteer be dead, the money will be paid to his proper heir or heirs. If living, to himself, or whoever he may name.
Soldiers, Sailors, and Civilians, Mothers, Daughters, and Sons, are alike interested in giving THE VOLUNTEERS' ROLL OF HONOR a universal circulation, and thus introducing to every household in our land this GREAT ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN HEROISM.

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1863, by BARCLAY & CO. in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, in and for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
