" This is a remarkably bright little book. 'Aliph Cheem,' supposed to be the 

 nom de plume of an officer in the i8th Hussars, is, after his fashion, an Indian Bon 

 Gaultier. In a few of the poems the jokes, turning on local names and customs, 

 are somewhat esoteric ; but, taken throughout, the verses are characterized by high 

 animal spirits, great cleverness, and most excellent fooling." The World. 



1 ' One can readily imagine the merriment created round the camp fire by the 

 recitation of ' The Two Thumpers, ' which is irresistibly droll. . . . The 

 edition before us is enlarged, and contains illustrations by the author, in addition to 

 which it is beautifully printed and handsomely got up, all which recommendations 

 are sure to make the name of Aliph Cheem more popular in India than ever." 

 Liverpool Mercury. 



" Satire of the most amusing and inoffensive kind, humour the most genuine, and 

 pathos the most touching pervade these ' Lays of Ind. ' . . . From Indian friends 

 we have heard of the popularity these ' Lays' have obtained in the land where they 

 were written, and we predict for them a popularity equally great at home."
