Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1835 edition. Excerpt: ...weakened in effect and in opinion by the unavenged attack of such despicable antagonists; and that when the occasion should ripen, they might not be disinclined to revenge and retrieve their former defeats.

But it will be felt that in offering these explanations, I have incidentally disposed of a question strictly military, which I have mentioned as sug ' gesting itself on the first view of Lord Hastings' undertaking--how it happened that preparations on so large a scale were necessary for the suppression of a horde of 30,000 horsemen? Banditti as they were, it will have been shown that they touched in near relation three powerful independent chiefs of India;--friendly indeed by the existing state of peaceful relations, but in character, and habit, and interest, our foes.
