MACMILLAN AND CO.’S MILITARY WORKS.
FORTY-ONE YEARS IN INDIA FROM SUBALTERN TO COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. By Field-Marshal Lord Roberts of Kandahar, V.C., K.P., G.C.B., G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E. New Edition in One Vol. With Forty-four Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo. 10s. net.
TIMES.—“A vivid and simple narrative of things actually seen by a fighting man who, during forty-one years of Indian service, saw more hard fighting than almost any other Englishman of our time. It also records the experience of a military administrator who has conducted historical campaigns and been the presiding genius in the reorganisation of a great Army. But to the general reader, perhaps, its chief charm will be glimpses which it gives, with a certain Cervantes-like naïveté, of the personality of the author. A hundred unconscious touches, in the camp, on the battlefield, and at the council-table, reveal to us the veritable hero of the British private, and the fearless leader of men whom every native soldier would follow to the death.”
A HISTORY OF THE INDIAN MUTINY AND OF THE DISTURBANCES WHICH ACCOMPANIED IT AMONG THE CIVIL POPULATION. By T. Rice Holmes. Fifth Edition, Revised throughout and slightly Enlarged. With Five Maps and Six Plans. Extra Crown 8vo. 12s. 6d.

DAILY TELEGRAPH.—“A plain, soldierly narrative which practically covers the whole recent history of the Soudan, and, as such, will doubtless meet with appreciative readers.”
THE CAMPAIGN IN TIRAH, 1897-1898.—An Account of the Expedition against the Orakzais and Afridis under General Sir William Lockhart, G.C.B., K.C.S.I. Based (by permission) on Letters contributed to the Times by Colonel H. D. Hutchinson, Director of Military Education in India. With Maps, Plans, and Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 8s. 6d. net.
NAVY AND ARMY.—“A book of singular interest, and of much practical value.... Of the actual fighting, Colonel Hutchinson writes brilliantly. His letters to the Times were the best sent regularly from the seat of war, and they are embodied in the volume with many additions and links.... Thoroughly good reading.... Emphatically a book to be read.”
