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.
