Works by Colonel Malleson.
HISTORY OF THE INDIAN MUTINY, 1857-58.
IN SIX VOLS., 6s. EACH.
London: W. H. Allen & Co., 13 Waterloo Place.
'Colonel Malleson wields his pen with so much skill that while giving a realistic account of all important operations, passing over no really noteworthy act of heroism, and acutely criticizing everything which demands criticism, he abstains from overlaying his narrative with details which would have increased the bulk of the book beyond all reason.'—Athenæum.
'A brilliant narrative, in which a great number of threads of history are taken up and combined with singular skill. We have never read a volume in which this merit is more conspicuously displayed; and a history which, in unskilful hands, might have become confused to the last degree is made remarkably clear and intelligible.'—Spectator.
THE DECISIVE BATTLES OF INDIA,
FROM 1746 TO 1849, INCLUSIVE.
NEW EDITION, 7s. 6d.
London: W. H. Allen & Co., 1888.
'We know of no book so well calculated as is the one we are noticing for giving the student a clear and comprehensive knowledge of the successive steps taken in conquering for ourselves the Empire of Hindustan. It is not simply the story of so many decisive battles. The causes which led to each one are set forth, and the connection between each successive war is clearly shewn. The author has consulted as far as possible original documents, or the writings, published and unpublished, of contemporaries; and to judge by the list he has given, the labour of composing this excellent work must have been considerable.'—Saturday Review.
