There is matter in you , Munshi ; and' to show how grateful \ fp are for the pleasure \ ve have found in you , we introduce ydu to the dearest friorid we have on earth . Reader—Munshi Lutfullah-Khan 1 "We must tell you , dear reader , something of your new acquaintance . "We do this the more willingly as his story will aid , in its degree , to some sort of understanding of the Indian insurrection . " —Aihen&um . " Read fifty volumes of travel , and a thousand imitations of the Oriental novel , and you will not get tho flavour of [ Eastern life and thought , or the zest of its romance , so perfectly as in Lutfullah ' Bbqok . We have thoroughly enjoyed the perusal . •' . . . All is simple and real , a photograph of social India . . . . "We might occupy columns with extracts from tho Muushi's delightful volume , but tho book , to be appreciated , must bo read from the first "to tho last page . "—Leader . " This is the freshest and most original work that it has been our good fortune to meet with for long . It bears every trace of being a most genuine account of the feelings ana doings of the author , who belongs to a people of whom wo know little but through tho medium of Europeans . Tho book opens up a now voin , and many will be astonished to find how rich a vein it is . ... Everything which contributes to give us a right understanding of tho character of our Indian subjects is of importance ; in this liglit we consider Lutfullah ' s autobiography no less valuable than entertaining . " —Economist . " As an autobiography , tho book is very curious . It bears tho strongest resemblance to Gil Bias or anything wo have over read . "— Spectator . " This ¦ veritable autobiography reads like a mixture of tho Life and Adventures of Gil Bias , with those of the Three Calendars . . . . Everyone who is interested in tho present state of matters in , India should read Lutfullah ' s own account of himself and his peoplo , as well as their peculiar and general feeling towards tho FoTinghoca .
