Excerpt from The Romance of the World The following pages illustrate the qualities by which our countrymen have maintained and strengthened the British rule in India. The first part consists of narratives of some of the most famous episodes in the Indian Mutiny, and sidelights on the heroes of that great struggle. In the second part will be found stories of adventure in the forests and jungles, and of heroic and venturesome exploits in war. The soldier and the sportsman are akin. I gratefully acknowledge the kindness of the Rt. Hon. Sir George O. Trevelyan, Bart., in permitting me to reprint a portion of his history of the siege and massacre of Cawnpore - a work which takes rank with the highest examples of the historical narrative in English.
