GENERAL GORDON, C.B. 



Events in the Taeping Rebellion. Bein^ Reprints of MSS. copied 

 by General Gordon, C.B., in his own handwriting; with Monograph, 

 Introduction, and Notes. By A. Egmont Hake, author of " The 

 Story of Chinese Gordon." With Portrait and Map. Uemy 8vo, i8s. 



" A valuable and graphic contribution to our knowledge of affairs in China at the 

 most critical period of its history." Leeds Mercury. 



" Mr Hake has prefixed a vivid sketch of Gordon's career as a ' leader of men,' 

 which shows insight and grasp of character. The style is perhaps somewhat too 

 emphatic and ejaeulatory one seems to hear echoes of Hugo, and a strain of Mr 

 Walter Besant but the spirit is excellent." Athenaeum. 



" Without wearying his readers by describing at length events which are as 

 familiar in our mouths as household words, he contents himself with giving a light 

 sketch of them, and fills in the picture with a personal narrative which to most people 

 will be entirely new." Saturday Review.
