Reviews of *' Lays of Ind." 



"The 'Lays' arenot 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-

 several of its ordinary personages, "—i?rt^'/^ Chronicle.

 By RUDYARD KIPLING. 



"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.
