BY LIEUT.-GENERAL MCLEOD INNES, R.E., V.C. LUCKNOW AND OUDE IN THE MUTINY. A Narrative and a Study. With numerous Maps, Plans, etc. Svo, cloth, 12s. net. Demy "A most valuable contribution to the history of the great crisis.”—Times. "Recent literature concerning the Indian Mutiny has brought us nothing so valuable. His knowledge of India and her people is accurate and profound. The facts are marshalled with consummate skill. In this book General Innes has rendered invaluable service in regard to the military history of the Mutiny and of the Indian Empire."-Army and Navy Gazette. "No previous account approaches that of General Innes in charm of style, fulness of detail, and sound military judgment. The first five chapters are devoted to an admirable résumé of the great Mutiny as a whole, in which the various stages are separately treated, and strategic considerations presented with a clearness attained by no previous writer. A keen but never unkindly critic, General Innes has made a notable contribution to military literature from a standpoint higher than that of the mere soldier."-Speaker. "A book full of the most interesting and valuable matter-a book the only fault of which is the over-modesty which has betrayed its author into ignoring almost entirely his own gallant personality. The book comes nearer a comprehensive yet succinct history of the Mutiny than do treatises of much greater detail. The General Sketch of the Mutiny is a masterpiece of lucid and pregnant condensation."-Pall Mall Gazette. "A contribution to our knowledge of the inner history of the rebellion whose value cannot be over-estimated."-Review of Reviews. LONDON: A. D. INNES & Co., 31 AND 32 BEDFORD STREET, STRAND. |
