A History of The Indian Mutiny: And of the Disturbances which Accompanied it Among the Civil Population describes the whole story of the origin, the course, and the results of the Mutiny in a single handy and attractive volume, complete in itself, and eminently readable from cover to cover. The book records everything that was worthy to be remembered. It enables readers to understand what sort of men the chief actors in the struggle were, and to realise what they and their comrades and opponents did and suffered; and to ascertain what were the causes of the Mutiny, and how the civil population of India bore themselves during its progress. It gives a detailed narrative of the chief campaigns of the stirring events that took place at the various centres of revolt.
The book has eleven chapters along with an Index. It covers General Sketch of Anglo-Indian History to the End of lord Dalhousie’s Administration; The Sepoy: Army; First Year of Lord Canning’s Rule—Outbreak of the Mutiny; The North–Western Provinces, Gwalior, and Rajputana; Canning’s Policy: Events at Calcutta; Bengal and Western Behar; Benares and Allahabad; Cawnpore; Lucknow and the Oudh Districts—Havelock’s Campaign; The Punjab and Delhi; and Later Events in the Punjab—Operations consequent on the Fall of Delhi—First Two Campaigns of Sir Colin Campbell.
The book is one which everyone should read, and which should be in every library and particularly in every soldier’s library in the country.

Thomas Rice Edward Holmes (24th May, 1855, Ireland—4th August, 1933, London) was a scholar best known for his extensive and fundamental work on Julius Caesar and his Gallic War commentaries. He was the fifth son of Robert Holmes, a landed proprietor and a descendant of John Arbuthnot, a friend of Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift. Holmes was educated at Merchant Taylors’ School and Christ Church, Oxford. He was assistant master at Lincoln Grammar School (1878–80), Blackheath Proprietary School (1880–85), and St. Paul’s School (beginning in 1886). In addition to his books, Holmes published a number of articles in the English Historical Review, Classical Quarterly, and other journals. Books authored by Holmes include A History of the India Mutiny (1883), Caesar’s Conquest of Gaul (1899), Ancient Britain and the Invasions of Julius Caesar (1907), and The Roman Republic and the Founder of the Empire (1923).
