bound in cloth.
THE ANNALS and ANTIQUITIES of RAJAST'HAN; or,
the CENTRAL and WESTERN RAJPOOT STATES of INDIA. Comprehending
the Annals oi that highly curious and Interesting portion of India (hitherto almost
wholly unknown), interspersed with Biographical Sketches of their Princes, &c.;
the peculiar Institutions of the Rajpoots; a Narrative of the Author's Travels, and
his personal Intercourse with the principal Courts and leading Personages of Raj.
pootana, &c. By Lieut.-Colonel James Ton, M.R.A.S., late Political Agent to
the Western Rajpoot States.
11 It is no exaggeration to characterize this as a magnificent work. It has long
been looked for, in India as well as in Europe, with an anxiety proportioned to the
great interest of the subject, and to the opportunities and known qualifications of
the author."—Asiatic Journal.
" Under the above title there has just appeared one of the most splendid literary
undertakings which the press of this country has ever produced ! Our astonish-
ment has been very largely excited by the magnificent style in which this highly
interesting work is illustrated. The numerous plates are chiefly designed by Major
Waugh ; and we hesitate not to say, that these specimens of bis skill are the most
beautiful, graphic, and well brought out sketches we ever beheld. Finden has, if
possible, excelled himself. The plates alone of this brilliant and interesting under-
taking arc worth the price of the volume, which cannot fail of rinding its way into
the libraries of the noble and Hie opulent."—Edinburgh Literary Gazette.
" This is both an interesting and a splendid volume. The decorations arc beauti-
ful, and will recommend the work to that share of public patronage which it claims
upon higher grounds—namely, its intrinsic excellence, as one of the most curious
publications regarding India which has ever appeared."■—Literary Gazette.
*»* The Second Volume, which will complete this splendid Work, is nearly ready
for publication.
COLONEL WELSH'S REMINISCENCES.
In 2 vols, demy Qvo. 36s. bound in Cloth, and embellished with nearly
100 illustrative Maps and Plates,
MILITARY REMINISCENCES ; extracted from A JOURNAL
of nearly FORTY YEARS' ACTIVE SERVICE in the EAST INDIES. By Colonel
Ja.mks Welsh, of the Madras Establishment.
" This is a very various and agreeable publication, displaying mnch acuteness,
good sense, and good feeling ; the author's views are discriminating, and his local
descriptions and remarks at once concise and sufficient. Nearly one hundred
plates Increase the interest of these very amusing volumes—of which we now take
our leave, and thank our author for the pleasure they have afforded as,**—Lit. Gaz.
" This work is beautifully printed and beautifully illustrated. The engravings
are varied and spirited, and so numerous and characteristic, that before we glance
over the whole, we can hardly resist the persuasion that we have lived in, and
become familiar with, the East. These volumes contain reminiscences of many
interesting and striking events, and their appearance is exceedingly inviting."
Scotsman,
" The Reminiscences of Colonel Welsh deserve a distinguished place in the
library, and will be highly valued by those who have shared with him the labours,
dangers, ajid enjoyments of India warfare. The drawings do great credit to his
taste and industry, and the whole work is a useful performance, not needing the
somewhat modest apology of the author."—Spectator.
