India -- History -- British occupation, 1765-1947 -- Biography; Lawrence, John Laird Mair, 1811-1879
The _Scotsman_ says:--“No page lacks interest; and whether the book
is regarded as a biographical sketch or as a chapter in English
military history, it is equally attractive. This series of books
promises to be as successful as the ‘English Men of Letters’
Series.”
The _Spectator_ says:--“Mr. Church has told well his interesting
story.”
The _Yorkshire Post_ says:--“The story of Henry V. is told here
with remarkable skill--the whole history is gathered up in the most
lucid and vigorous way.”
=Livingstone.= By Mr. THOMAS HUGHES.
The _Spectator_ says:--“The volume is an excellent instance of
miniature biography, for it gives us what we seek in such a book--a
sketch of his deeds, but a picture of the man.... This excellent
little book.”
The _Scotsman_ says:--“The stirring story is narrated in terse and
vivid language, and with remarkable completeness ... a better
biographer than Mr. Hughes could not have been found for so
excellent a type of the muscular Christian as Dr. Livingstone. He
was a man, and his was a life after the biographer’s heart.”
