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.
