SOME PRESS OPINIONS 



(2) "LIFE IN THE INDIAN POLICE" 



Fully Illustrated. Demy %vo. >js. 6d. 



Daily Graphic. . . . "The author had some of the most extraordi- 

 nary adventures yet chronicled. . . . They, while almost beyond it, com- 

 pel belief. . . . The book is excellent value." 



The Times. . . . "This book is very welcome and will strongly 

 appeal to the sportsman. ... It is indeed choke full of varied adventures 

 and there is something to read at whatever page you open it." 



The Globe. (In a special leading article on the book.) . . . "The 

 author has many tales of tiger-hunts. . . . His experiences . . . are uncom- 

 monly well told and are often extremely amusing as well as very exciting. 

 . . . We wish we could quote more of Mr. Gouldsbury's many stories, 

 but we have, we hope, said enough to convince the intending reader that 

 he will find this a singularly amusing and interesting book. ... A really 

 valuable contribution to the understanding of native life." 



T.P.'s Weekly. "A . . . book that portrays vividly the life in a 

 service probably little understood in this country. . . . The author has 

 written an attractive book." 



The Daily Telegraph. " In this pleasant volume Mr. C. E. Goulds- 

 bury gives an account of his adventures. . . . Keen as was Mr. Gouldsbury 

 on ... sport, he was evidently no less keen on his work as a police 

 officer . . . during his earlier years had the assistance of a veritable Sher- 

 lock Holmes. . . . Several incidents in which this man . . . distinguished 

 himself are recorded with a fulness that makes them as interesting as 

 stories. . . . Both for its description of life in India . . . and for its vivid 

 accounts of many sporting episodes, 'Life in the Indian Police' is a 

 volume which should charm, not only . . . Anglo-Indians, but all who 

 can enjoy exciting yarns vividly presented. Mr. Gouldsbury has indeed 

 given us one of the freshest and most delightful volumes of Indian remi- 

 niscences that we have read for some time." 



Manchester City News. . . . *' Space does not permit our quoting 

 any of the author's hunting stories. . . . This retired Indian Police officer 

 is a sportsman to his finger-tips. . . . Man-eating tigers, leopards . . . 

 have all fallen to his gun, and about each he has a story which is well 

 worth reading, as much for the illuminating sidelights on native customs and 

 character, as for the sporting interest of the story itself. . . . Mr. Goulds- 

 bury's shrewd insight, close observation, and intimate personal knowledge 

 of the Indian people of all grades enable him to exhibit in a remarkable 

 manner the character, motives, customs, beliefs and superstitions ... of 

 the changing and changeless East. There are stories of Rajahs and ruffians, 

 judges and jungles, durbars and zenanahs, famine, fever and flood, enough 

 to afford material for half a dozen volumes of travel and adventure. Nor 

 is there a dull page in the book from beginning to end, and much of it will 

 bear a second, and even a third, reading."
