Book Description
AUTOBIOGRAPHY and its half-brother biography are two of the most useful members of the great family of literature. Lord Roberts placed a high value on their services. His own fascinating Forty One Years in India and his careful study of the Rise of Wellington are sufficient proofs of this. Throughout his long life, Roberts always retained his youthful affection for John Nicholson. Nicholson impressed the author more profoundly. He was the beau-ideal of a soldier and a gentleman. The author acknowledges him in this book.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Lord Roberts Autobiography and its half-brother biography are two of the most useful members of the great family of literature. Lord Roberts placed a high value on their services. His own fascinating Forty-One Years in India and his careful study of The Rise of Wellington are sufficient proofs of this. If further guarantee were necessary I have it in a letter he wrote to me a little over a year before the outbreak of the South African War. "The example of men who have got on in the world," he says, "cannot fail to stimulate boys to work hard themselves." It is equally certain that children of an older growth are no less susceptible, although they are apt to be a little more critical in their judgment. Throughout his long life, for instance, Roberts always retained his youthful affection for John Nicholson: "Nicholson impressed me more profoundly than any man I had ever met before, or have ever met since. I have never seen anyone like him. He was the beau-ideal of a soldier and a gentleman." Had Carlyle delivered his lectures on 'Heroes' half a century later than 1840, and had he designed to include living subjects, he would almost certainly have selected for his roll the victor of Kandahar. According to the Sage of Chelsea, sincerity is the first characteristic of heroism and originality: "No man adequate to do anything, but is first of all in right earnest about it."

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
