instructive and lively volume which its appearance called forth some years since. It would
be lamentable if a book so fraught with interest to all Englishmen should be restricted to
Anglo-Indian circles. A fresh instalment of letters from Warren Hastings to his wife must be
noted as extremely interesting, while the papers on Sir Philip Francis, Nuncomar, and the
romantic career of Mrs. Grand, who became Princess Benevento and the wife of Talleyrand,
ought by now to be widely known."

Capital. The authoress has arranged her material so well, that everything
connected with the city and its fortunes passes before the reader in panoramic
array. The social life of the inhabitants is depicted in entertaining fashion, and
the streets, along with the pedigree of their names, will have a new and living
interest to the reader after he rises from the banquet of the book."

The Statesman.-"She has succeeded in writing a gossipy volume, that will
well repay the bestowal of a leisure hour. Miss Blechynden has added a pleasantly
written and notable volume to the library which is already adorned by the
researches of Dr. Busteed and Archdeacon Hyde."

The Indian Medical Gazette.-" It is not only an interesting history of Calcutta,
but the authoress has succeeded in painting a life-like picture of the social life in
old Calcutta."
