Description

Excerpt from Kaye's and Malleson's History of the Indian Mutiny of 1857-8, Vol. 2 The editing of the second volume of Sir John Kaye's History has been regulated on the same principle as was the first. The text has been left intact. In the few instances in which the Editor has believed that the conclusions arrived at by the distinguished author were not warranted by facts, he has intimated his dissent, and his reasons for that dissent, in notes bearing his initials. The Appendix has been somewhat reduced, either by the omission or the abbreviation of matter which seemed superfluous, or by the transfer as notes to the pages indicated of corrections made by the author in editions subsequent to the first. The spelling of proper names has, moreover, been made to conform to the more correct system now happily coming into general use. Under ordinary circumstances the Editor would have refrained from adding to the above short explanation. It has been represented to him, however, that as the present Cabinet Edition will appeal to a large class who may not have the opportunity of referring to a Gazetteer, it would add considerably to the value of the work if he were to add a short description of the geographical position of the principal places mentioned in each volume.
