Fitchett, W. H. (William Henry)
India -- History -- Sepoy Rebellion, 1857-1858
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._—‘A GREAT UNDERTAKING, WORTHILY DESIGNED, AND
ADMIRABLY EXECUTED.... We may at least say that the “Dictionary
of National Biography” has achieved in many respects the ideal
which was before the mind of Plutarch when he wrote his “Lives
of Greeks and Romans” at once to amuse and interest himself and
to edify and enlighten the world.’
_MORNING POST._—‘THE GREATEST UNDERTAKING OF THE CENTURY IN
ITS OWN FIELD OF ENDEAVOUR.... It must justly be said that
this vast undertaking will fill a yawning gap in the list of
dictionaries, and satisfy a want which must have been felt,
more or less strongly, by almost every English writer.’
_ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW._—‘The thoroughness of the work
is such that the Dictionary has become AN INDISPENSABLE BOOK
OF REFERENCE, and its influence will be strongly felt on the
scholarship of the next generation.’
_SPEAKER._—‘The book WILL LAST AS LONG AS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE,
and will preserve for all time not only the memory of the
greater personages of English history, which is in no danger,
but of that multitude of smaller luminaries whose light would
otherwise have been lost.’
