ALLEN & CO., 13 WATERLOO PLACE, PALL MALL, S.W. 1880. {All rigMs reserved.) 2>S K1.3 /^<^xi(^^^ PREFACE. This Index gives a summary of all the occurrences which took place in any town or district, and of all the actions recorded of any person, mentioned in the " History of the Sepoy "War," by Sir John Kaye, and the " History of the Indian Mutiny," by Col. G. B. Malleson. In most cases the events are necessarily classified, but without losing sight of chronological arrangement ; dates being given for all actions of par- ticular significance, or of such as, it is supposed, those who use the book might desire to know, without referring to the volumes themselves. It is hoped that the method adopted will enable this Index to be of use to anyone who wishes to ascertain the extent to which any person or place was concerned in the great Mutiny, so far as mentioned in the volumes specified. For facili- tating reference, the longer articles have been provided with italic side-heads, so that particular periods of the history may be readily found ; examples of this are to be seen under the articles " Dehli," " Lakhnau," &c. The method of arrangement enables the progress of the IV PEBPACE. Mutiny to be traced with remarkable distinctness, especially under the article "Mutiny" itself. This article, read with a map of Northern India, will show the fearful rapidity with which the outbreak spread, and the districts successively involved in it. The progress of the Mutiny can, thus, be traced from day to day with clearness and brevity. With regard to the spelling of proper names, it must be remarked that the two authors indexed followed two diametrically opposite systems ; there remained, therefore, a fair field for the Indexer to follow the bent of his own inclination, while supplying abundant cross- references for the varying spellings found in the volumes themselves. It need scarcely be remarked that, in the references, the letter K. refers to Sir John Kaye's volumes, and the latter M. to those of Col. Malleson. Where no year is specified, the year of the Mutiny (1857) is to be understood. ANALYTICAL INDEX OF THE HISTORIES OF THE INDIAN MUTINY.

  • Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant
    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant Academia Isabel Frances Grant, MBE, LLD, was an author, historian, antiquarian, and founder of the Highland Folk Museum. Born in Edinburgh and educated in London, Dr. Grant was a descendant of the ancient family of Tullochgorm and the granddaughter of Field Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, GCB, GCMG. Dr. Grant wrote her first book, Everyday Life of an Old Highland Farm, in 1924. While traveling in Europe, she was influenced by the open air museum movement of the early 20th century. She started collecting items of Highland material culture and founded the Highland Folk Museum, called Am Fasgadh (The Shelter), firstly on the island of Iona, and later at Kingussie in Badenoch in 1944. Today, the museum is situated in Newtonmore. In recognition for her pioneering efforts, Miss Grant was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh in 1948 and elevated to the rank of MBE in 1959. Dr. Grant wrote a number of books during her long life, including The Lordship of the Isles (1935), Highland Folk Ways (1961), and Periods in Highland History (1987, published posthumously with Hugh Cheape, PhD). Dr. I.F. Grant died in 1983 at the age of 96. Robert Edmond Grant, MD, FRCPE, FRS (1793-1874) established the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London, in 1828.

  • An Assessment of Uprising Against the Indian Revolt of 1857: British Historiography
    Journal of Advances and Scholarly Researches in Allied Education Vol. XI, Issue No. 22, July-2016, ISSN 2230-7540 An Assessment of Uprising against the Indian Revolt of 1857: British Historiography Kuldeep Singh Bahia1* Dr. Birbal2 1Research Scholar 2Professor Abstract – The Uprising of 1857 was in many ways a representation of such feelings among the people. The Uprising shook the foundation of British rule but was suppressed with great power and ruthlessness. The Uprising of 1857 is a great landmark in the history of India. The year 1857 symbolizes a turning point in the history of modern India because in that eventful year an upsurge, invariably referred to as the 'Mutiny' in most contemporary accounts, took on the dimensions of a rebellion as the princes and people of India, following the lead given by the sepoys, challenged a well -established administrative set up. Over the years, the nature and scope of this great struggle has been the subject of controversy with historians in India and overseas. During the last one and half century a massive literature have been produced by the historians and scholars on this event. However, it goes without saying that this Uprising occupies a unique peace in the annals of Indian freedom struggle. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - X - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - INTRODUCTION arrested and the regiment disbanded.

THE INSTITUTION OP ROYAL ENGINEERS, CHATILUl. 1933, To MY CoM.RADES OJ' TBE CoRPS OJ' ROYAL ENGINEERS. .... FOREWORD. HEN I happen to think of it, I always c~ngratulate myself on my good fortune in that my service of thirty-two happy years W in India included nearly all the "'seventies" of the nine­ teenth century, when I was privileged to see a great deal of the British Government of India at the zenith of its success. India, then and since, as never before in its history, enjoyed good and honest government with the best administration of justice that has ever been arrived at in this imperfect world. There was order and contentment everywhere from Cape Comorin to the farthest land frontiers in the north; and throughout this vast territory, peace and prosperity reigned. So we who were proudly taking part in maintain­ ing the British Raj at that time saw every reason to regard it as a glorious and splendid success, likely to survive for many generations. Now in the establishment of this glorious and splendid state of things, the men who directed and carried out the engineering works, defensive and other, in the early day~ of the East India Company, and their successors who gradually created and carried on the great Public Works Department of India in later times, had no small share.

BY Dr JOHN STEWART, F.S.Se., (Land.), Surgeon-Dentist, DUNDEE, Author of “The Teeth, and How to Preserve Them.” Glasgow: Jas. M'Geachy & Co., Union St. Dundee: William Kidd, Whitehall St. “ The explanation of the structure of the teeth and their manner of growth is interesting. ... Dr Stewart cites several cases of toothache causing symptoms similar to those popularly ascribed to madness, and pertinently suggests that if this fact was oftener borne in mind there would not be so much outcry about hydro- phobia.”—The Glasgow Herald. “ All who have toothache, all who can recall its agonies, and all who desire to keep out of its clutches, should read the newly published book on‘The Mouth,’by Dr Stewart. Evidence is not wanting of the author’s skill in the higher walks of his profession We cordially recommend the book.” — Evening Telegraph. “ Will prove both opportune and valuable. ... We can recommend the book as a popular account of the use and abuse of the teeth, by one who knows the subject thoroughly.”—Uundee Advertiser. “ Dr Stewart is right in the statement that much ignorance generally prevails on the subject of the mouth and the teeth, and the book before us is likely to dispel some of it."—The Queen. - . , , - ' ■ ■ - From a Pholo by J Valenhine $ Sons THE H ighland Brigade: ITS BATTLES AND ITS HEROES.
