Reviews of " Lays of Ind." 



"The ' Lays' are not only Anglo-Indian in origin, but out-and-out Anglo-Indian in 

 subject and colour. To one who knows something of life at an Indian ' station ' they 

 will be especially amusing. Their exuberant fun at the same time may well attract the 

 attention of the ill-defined individual known as ' the general reader.' " Scotsman. 



" To many An- 

 glo-Indians the 

 lively verses of 

 'Aliph Cheem' 

 must be very well 

 known, while to 

 those who have not 

 yet become ac- 

 quainted with them 

 we can only say 

 read them on the 

 first opportunity. 

 To those not fa- 

 miliar with Indian 

 life they may be 

 specially com- 

 mended for the 



picture which they give of many of its lighter incidents and conditions, and of 

 several of its ordinary personages." Bath Chronicle.

' ' They reflect with light gaiety the thoughts and feelings of actual men and 

 women, and are true as well as clever. . . . Mr. Kipling achieves the feat of 

 making Anglo-Indian society flirt and intrigue visibly before our eyes. . . . His 

 book gives hope of a new literary star of no mean magnitude rising in the East. " 

 SIR W. W. HUNTER, in The Academy. 



"As for that terrible, scathing piece, ' The Story of Uriah,' we know of nothing 

 with which to compare it, and one cannot help the wretched feeling that it is true. 

 . . . ' In Spring Time ' is the most pathetic lament of an exile we know in 

 modern poetry. " Graphic.
