Edited by E. B. Eastwick, Esq.
Third Edition, Small Post 8vo. Price 5s. cloth.
"Think you, Munshi Lutfullah Khan! We
have read your book with wonder and delight.
Your adventures are more curious than you are
aware. . . . But your book is chiefly striking
for its genuineness. . . . Th3 story will aid, in
its degree, to some sort of understanding of the
Indian insurrection. Professor Eastwick has done
a gratetul service iu making known this valuable
volume."—Athenæum.
" Read fifty volumes of travel, and a thousand
imitations of the Oriental novel, and you will not
get the flavour ofEastern life and thought, or the
zest of its romance, so perfectly as in Lutfullah’s
book ."—Leader.
" This is a remarkable book. We have
autobiographies in abundance of Englishmen
Frenchmen, andtiermans; but of Asiatics and
Mahometans, few or none. . . . As the autobiography
of a Mahometan mulla, it is in itself singularly
interesting. As the observations of an eye-
witness of our Indian possessions and our policy
and proceedings in the peninsula, it possesses a
valueofits own,quite distinct from any European
memorials 011 the same subjects."—Standard.
"This is the freshest and most original work
that it has been our good fortune to meet with for
long. It Dears every trace of being a most genuine
account of the feelings and doings of the author.
The whole tone of the book, the turn of every
thought, the association of ideas, the allusions,
are all fresh to the English reader; it opens up a
new vein, and many will be astonished to find
how rich a vein it is. Lutfullah is by no means an
ordinary specimen of his race."—Economist,
"This veritable autobiography, reads like a
mixture of the Life and Adventure of Gil Bias, with
those of the Three Calendars."—Globe.
" As an autobiography, the book is very curious.
It bears the strongest resemblance to Gil Bias of
anything we have ever read."—Spectator.

present demand for a new edition is a sufficient
commendation of a work which has already
occupied the highest rank among biographies of the
great men of modern times."—Observer.
"A new and revised edition of the life of 0110
of tho greatest and purest men that ever aided
in governing India. The new edition not only
places a very instructive book within the reach of
a greater number of persons, but contains new
matterof the utmost value and interest."— Critic.
"One of the most valuable biographies of the
present day. This revised edition has several
fresh passages of high interest, now first inserted
from among Lord Metcalfe’s papers, in which his
clear prescience of the dangers that threatened
our Indian empire is remarkably shown. Both in
size and price the new edition is a great
improvement mi the original work."—Economist.
"This edition is revised with care and judgment.
Mr. Kaye has judiciously condensed that portion
of his original work which relates to the earlier
career of the great Indian statesman. Another
improvement 111 the work will be found in the
augmentation of that part setting forth Lord
Metcalfe’s views of the insecurity of our Indian
empire."— Globe.

interesting political biographies iu English
literature."—National Revieic.
