SIXTH IMPRESSION. 



There are very few persons living whose knowledge of English 

 Society is, literally, so extensive and peculiar as Lady Dorothj 

 Nevill's, and fewer still whose recollections of a period extending 

 from the day of the postchaise to that of the motor-car are as graphic 

 and entertaining as hers. In the course of her life she has mel 

 almost every distinguished representative of literature, politics anc 

 art, and about many of them she has anecdotes to tell which have 

 never before been made public. She has much to say of her intimate 

 friends of an earlier day Disraeli, the second Duke of Wellington, 

 Bernal Osborne, Lord Ellenborough, and a dozen others while a 

 multitude of more modern personages pass in procession across hei 

 light-hearted pages. A reproduction of a recent crayon portrait bj 

 M. Cayron is given as frontispiece. 



PERSONAL ADVENTURES AND 

 ANECDOTES OF AN OLD OFFICER, 



By Colonel JAMES P. ROBERTSON, C.B.

The phrase 'a charmed life' is hackneyed, but it may be used 

 with peculiar appropriateness to describe Colonel Robertson's 

 military career. ' The history of my nose alone,' says the cheery 

 old soldier in his Preface, 'would fill a chapter,' and, indeed, not 

 only his nose, but his whole body, seem to have spent their time in, 

 at all events, running a risk of being seriously damaged in every 

 possible way. The book, in fact, is simply full of fine confused 

 fighting and hair-breadth escapes. 



Joining the 3ist Regiment in 1842, Colonel Robertson took part 

 in the Sutlej Campaign from Moodkee to Sobraon. He was in the 

 Crimea, and throughout the Mutiny he commanded a regiment of 

 Light Cavalry, doing repeatedly the most gallant service. The 

 incidents of life in Ireland and the Ionian Islands during the in- 

 tervals of peace are worthy of ' Charles O'Malley,' and are described 

 with something of Lever's raciness of touch.
