Boys who love stories of plucky deeds will find 'With Rifle and Kukri' altogether to their taste. The heroic deeds called forth by England's 'little wars' along the Indian frontier--the dashing exploits of the Gurkhas and others of our native allies--the coolness with which the handful of Englishmen in India met the outbreak of the Great Mutiny--all these are narrated in stirring language by an author whose local knowledge is extensive and exact.

The English Churchman says: 'A very well written story-book for boys, dealing with school life in a lively style.'
