BY LIEUT.-COLONEL JOHN LUARD. _Price_ 30_s._ 0_d._ _To Subscribers_, 25_s._ 0_d._ _On India Paper_, 32_s._ 6_d._ _To Subscribers_, 27_s._ 6_d._ The object of this work is to describe the numerous changes, which have taken place in the Dress of Military Men; first, during the time when armour was worn, but more particularly since it has been left off; with a view, by accurately delineating the various changes, to induce British Officers to reflect without prejudice on this important subject, and to form a just estimate of what is useful, desirable, and ornamental for a soldier’s equipment, at the smallest expense, both for officers and privates,—taking into consideration the best mode of ensuring freedom of action for the different arms of the service, and for health and comfort, while enduring the various climates of our colonies. Opinions of the Press. WANDERINGS OF A PILGRIM, During Four-and-Twenty Years in the East; with Revelations of Life in the Zenana. BY [Illustration] THE ENGLISH REVIEW. “The tone of bold and careless frankness in which this interesting and instructive work is written, is singularly attractive. ‘Les Indoos peints par eux-mêmes’ might be its title.” WESTMINSTER AND FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW. “But we must here take leave of a work in which we have felt a more than ordinary interest; the spirit with which the various events of a prolonged residence in the East are delineated, the beautiful illustrations, and the graphic descriptions of scenery, will ensure for the book a favourable reception from every reader.” NAVAL AND MILITARY GAZETTE. “If we admire the book much for its external beauty, we admire it still more for its internal merit—for the infinite variety, curiosity, and interest of its contents.” THE COURT JOURNAL. “To the authoress of the twenty-four years’ ‘Wanderings’ has been reserved the honour of superseding the vivacious correspondent of Alexander Pope, and of taking the first rank as the chronicler of the scenes of the Zenana. Nothing of the kind can rival the portraiture of the ‘Pilgrim.’ It is fresh, intelligent, and minutely interesting.” BLACKWOOD’S LADY’S MAGAZINE. “We affirm, without fear of contradiction, that so graphic, picturesque, and thoroughly _real_ a delineation of India as a country, and its inhabitants as a people, has never before appeared.” THE ASIATIC AND COLONIAL QUARTERLY JOURNAL.
