WHEN KINGS HODE TO DELHI. By 



GABRIELLE FESTING, Author of ' From the Land of Princes,' ' John 

 Hookham Frere and his Friends,' ' On the Distatf Side,' &c. Second 

 Impression. Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d. net. Illustraied. 

 This work shows the charm and romance of Indian history, it brings into re- 

 lief the great and in>ipiring characters who have played a part in it, instead, as 

 so many writers have dooe, of harping only upon the meanness ami cruelty with 

 which it has been defaced. The best friends of India have longed for such a 

 book for many years, and will rejoice that it has at last been written. It is as 

 readable as a novel, and of an interest far exceeding that of most fiction. 



" It might have been supposed that our imagination would easily have been 

 kindled by the story of the splendid princes who gloried and drank deep in the 

 gardens and marble palaces by the banks of the Jamna. . . . But a book was 

 still wanted which would make a wider public appreciate the charm of this 

 romantic epoch. Such a book has, I think, at last appeared under the title, 

 ' When Kings Rode to Delhi.' The particular merit of Miss Festing is that she 

 feels the pathos and romance which hang about the crumbling walls of Delhi, 

 and makes us feel it too."— Sir Theodore Morison, K.C.I.E., in Blackwood's 

 Magazine.
