In the year 1894, I published in two volumes a romance of the Indian Mutiny, under the title of "The Star of Fortune." A short prefatory note intimated that it was my lot to be in India during the terrible time of the Sepoy Rebellion. From this it may be inferred that I not only wrote with feeling, but with some personal knowledge of my subject. "The Star of Fortune" was exceedingly well received by the public, and last year a cheaper edition was called for. That edition has been extensively circulated throughout India and the Colonies. The book on the whole was well reviewed, while my critics were good enough to accord me praise, by no means stinted, for the portions which dealt with the Mutiny proper. One London paper said it was "a very fine picture narrative," another spoke of it as "a spirited piece of writing," a third declared it was "written with spirit and vivacity," a fourth as being "really breathless in interest." I could go on multiplying quotations similar to the foregoing, but those I have given will serve the purpose I have in view.
