G. B. MALLESON. 



History of the French in India. From the Founding of Pondicherry 

 in 1674, to the Capture of that place in 1761. New and Revised 

 Edition, with Maps. Demy 8vo, 16s. 



" Colonel Malleson has produced a volume alike attractive lo the general reader and 

 valuable for its new matter to the special student. It is not too much to say that now, 

 for the first time, we are furnished with a faithful narrative of that portion of European 

 enterprise in India which turns upon the contest waged by the East India Company 

 against French influence, and especially against Dupleix." — Edinburgh Review. 



" It is pleasant to contrast the work now before us with the writer's first bold plunge 

 into historical composition, which splashed every one within his reach. He swims now 

 with a -teady stroke, and there is no fear of his sinking. With a keener insight into 

 human character, and a larger understanding of the sources of human action, he com- 

 bines all the power of animated recital which invested his earlier narratives wkh 

 popularity." — Fortnighthj Review. 



"The author has had the advantage of consulting French Archives, and his volume 

 forms a useful supplement to Ornie."— Athenmim. 



Final French Struggles in India and on the Indian Seas. New 

 Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



"How India escaped from the government of prefects and sub-prefects to 

 fall under that of Commissioners and Deputy-Commissioners ; why the Penal 

 Code of Lord Macaulay reigns supreme instead of a Code Napoleon ; why we 

 are not looking on helplessly from Mahe, Karikal, and Pondicherry, while the 

 French are ruling all over Madras, and spending millions of francs in attempt- 

 ing to cultivate the slopes of the Neilgherries, may be learnt from this modest 

 volume. Colonel Malleson is always painstaking, and generally accurate ; his 

 style is transparent, and he never loses sight of the purpose with which he 

 commenced to write." — Saturday Rcvieio. 



"A book dealing with such a period of our history in the East, besides 

 being interesting, contains many lessons. It is written in a style that will be 

 popular with general readers." — Athenceum. 



The Battlefields of Germany, from the Outbreak of the Thirty Years' 

 War to the Battle of Blenheim. With Maps and 1 Plan. Demy 8vo, 

 1 6s. 



"Colonel Malleson has shown a grasp of his subject, and a power of 

 vivifying the confused passages of battle, in which it would be impossible to 

 name any living writer as his equal. In imbuing these almost forgotten 

 battlefields with fresh interest and reality for the English reader, he is re- 

 opening one of the most important chapters of European history, which no 

 previous 1 "nglish writer has made so interesting and instructive as he has 

 succeeded in doing in this volume." — Academy. 



Ambushes and Surprises, being a Description of some of the most famous 

 instances of the Leading into Ambush and the Surprises of Armies, 

 from the time of Hannibal to the period of the Indian Mutiny. With a 

 portrait of General Lord Mark Ker, K.C.B. Demy 8vo, 18s.
