‘‘We hear that Dr. H. E. BUSTEED, whose charming little book on ‘Old Calcutta’ 
commanded a deserved popularity among Indian readers, is now engaged in his re- 
tirement at home in bringing out a new edition, which will be much amplified, and 
illustrated by portraits of ladies and gentlemen of the settlement who'were local 
celebrities a century ago. Dr. BUSTEED has devoted himself to research with 
indefatigable industry, and fortunately his literary style is as graceful and entertain- 
ing as his knowledge is profound and accurate.’’"—Calcutta Englishman. 
‘Tt is a pleasure to reiterate the warm commendation of this instructive and lively 
volume which its appearance called forth some few years since. It would be 
lamentable if a book so fraught with interest to all Englishmen should be restricted 
to Anglo-Indian circles. A fresh instalment of letters from Warren Hastings to his 
wife must be noted as extremely interesting, while the papers on Sir Philip Francis, 
Nuncomar, and the romantic career of Mrs. Grand, who became Princess 
Benevento and the wife of Talleyrand, ought by now to be widely known.”— 
Saturday Review. 
‘Dr. Busteed has unearthed some astonishing revelations of what European Life in 
India resembled a century back. Perhaps for the first time has the Black Hole 
drama been told in a way fully to bring home to the mind the appalling nature of 
the sufferings undergone by our countrymen and countrywomen.”—Dazly Telegraph.
