LIFE OF LORD LAWRENCE 



WITH PORTRAITS AND MAPS 

 Seventh Edition. Revised. In Two Volumes 



" The long expected volumes, in which Mr Bosworth Smith recounts the eventful life 

 of the illustrious Lord Lawrence, amply fulfil, in point of both merit and interest, the 

 favourable expectations that had been formed of them." Standard. 



"John Lawrence has been fortunate in his biographer, who is an accomplished 

 writer and a faithful, unflinching admirer of his hero." Daily Telegraph. 



" The account of the ever-memorable siege of Delhi is quite a masterpiece of graphic 

 writing, and his life-like sketches of the imperious Nicholson are not less deserving of 

 praise." Globe. 



" In the interests of religion, good government, and high principle, we tender our 

 unqualified thanks to Mr Bosworth Smith for his two splendid volumes." Literary 

 World. 



"The universal demand for the work is one of the best and most deserved 

 criteria of its ability." Athenceum. 



" There will be universal agreement as to the intrinsic merit of these two entrancing 

 volumes. ... Mr Bosworth Smith has done his work well, and, both in the 

 materials and manner, the narrative of the life and career of a distinguished ruler will 

 deservedly take a high place among the biographies of the language." Guaraiati. 



"It deserves the praise, the highest praise it could receive, of being a worthy 

 monument tol the lofty character and splendid powers of its hero." Right Hon. 

 J. BRYCE in the Pall Mall Gazette. 



44 The man whose simple name sounds higher than any title was a genuine hero, 

 and his story is worthily told by Mr Bosworth Smith in the two handsome volumes 

 which he has presented to the world as the result of three years' literary labour." 

 H. G. KEANE in the Academy. 



44 The writer shows a great readiness in transferring himself to an Indian atmos- 

 phere ; a wonderful mastery of the mass of necessary reading, a great power of 

 assimilating Indian matter, as well as of realising the men, the moral scenery, and the 

 subjects of which he had to treat, and though the book contains nearly 1200 pages, it 

 is marvellously readable, and one who is neither a lover of contemporary history, nor 

 tolerant of prolixity, has not found nor has he skipped a tedious page.' Sir 

 HENRY YULE in the Quarterly Review. 



" We have here further proof of the author's qualifications for literary work. We 

 recognise his arrangement and method, his ability to sift, digest, and utilise his 

 materials, and his style, which is never dull or commonplace, but animated and 

 expressive, and often rises to eloquence." Saturday Review. 



" This book will take rank among our great biographies. It is doubtful whether 

 Mr Bosworth Smith has been more fortunate in his subject, or Lord Lawrence in his 

 biographer." Contemporary Review. 



44 There have been written a few great biographies which will last through all 

 time : great by reason of the inherent interest of the subject, great by reason of the 

 style. The names of such can be counted on the fingers, and they will readily occur 

 to the mind of the reader. Mr Bosworth Smith's 4 Life of Lord Lawrence ' equals all 

 and exceeds most in every element of fascination. . . . It is difficult to find words 

 to praise sufficiently this noble biography." Philadelphia Press.
