HAMMIR OF RANTHANBHOR.

Price ... ... ... Re. 1-8-0. 1. The Bengalee (CALCUTTA):—"It is an illuminating record of Rajput daring and achievement coupled with Rajput chivalry and generosity." 2. The Hindustan Review says: "It is an inspiring life which Mr. Sarda describes. The nobility, the faithfulness to his plighted word, the bravery of Hammira have been often sung in Sanskrit and Hindi verse; his is really a household name. Mr. Sarda has done well to familiarise the English- knowing public with the shining achievements and noble character of this mediæval Rajput monarch." 3. The Hindu (MADRAS) says that this monograph, boldly printed on fine art paper and got up in excellent style with an index contains a thrilling account of the last of the Chauhan monarchs, one who is celebrated in Hindustan as a Rajput hero reputed for his chivalry and determination. His life embodies a fine example of Hindu-Muslim harmony and friendship. Its study must be particularly valuable at this time of India's history as revealing the extent to which such union had existed in the past. 4. The Vedic Magazine says that Hammiradeva was the last of the brave Chauhan dynasty. He was one of the bravest of India's son. As regards valour and chivalry, he maintained the best traditions of his race. His reply to Sultan Alauddin when the latter demanded the surrender of Mir Mahomed Shah will live for all time in the annals of Hindustan. "The sun would sooner rise in the west and Sumeru be levelled with the earth than he would break his plighted faith." 5. The Independent says that the story is well written in an easy and flowing style. The annals of Rajput dynasties abound in a variety of chivalrous deeds and the author has done a good service to the reading public, young and old, by his books on the heroes of India.
