THE ANNALS OF RURAL BENGAL.
Sixth Edition, i6s.
* It is hard to over-estimate the importance of a work whose author succeeds infascinating us with a subject so generally regarded as unattractive, and who, onquestions of grave importance to the future destiny of India , gives the resultsof wide research and exceptional opportunities of personal study, in a bright,lucid, forcible narrative, rising on occasion to eloquence.’— Times .
‘ Mr. Hunter, in a word, has applied the philosophic method of writing historyto a new field. . . . The grace, and ease, and steady flow of the writing almostmake us forget, when reading, the surpassing severity and value of the author’slabours.’— Fortnightly Revieiv.
THE VICISSITUDES OF AN INDIAN PROVINCE UNDERNATIVE AND BRITISH RULE.
Two Vols., Map and Steel Engravings , 32s.
‘ The mature and laborious work of a man who has devoted the whole powerof his mind, first to the practical duties of his profession as an Indian civilian,and next to the study of all that relates to or can illustrate it. As long asIndian civilians write books like this—as long as they interest themselves sopassionately in their work, and feel so keenly its connection with nearly everysubject which can occupy serious thought—the English rule will not only last,but will prosper, and make its subjects prosper too.’— Pall Mall Gazette (1872).
‘A great subject worthily handled. He writes with great knowledge, greatsympathy with the Indian people, a keen and quick appreciation of all that isstriking and romantic in their history and character, and with a flowing andpicturesque style, which carries the reader lightly over ground which, in lessskilful hands, might seem tedious beyond endurance.’— Saturday Review.
THE INDIAN MUSALMANS.

‘ Un ensemble d’efforts digne d’une grande nation, et comme aucune autren'en a fait jusqu’ici de semblable pour son empire colonial.’— Revue Critique.
‘ Twenty volumes of material, collected under the most favourable auspices, arebuilt up under his hands into a vast but accessible storehouse of invaluable facts.Invaluable to the statesman, the administrator, and the historian, they are no lessinteresting to the general reader. Mr. Hunter undoubtedly has the faculty ofnfaking the dry bones of statistics live. But they also contain matter which maybe regarded as the fountain of the yet unwritten history of Bengal. They area guide for administrative action now. They also seem to be the point of a newdeparture for the future.’— Nineteenth Century.
