George Francklin Atkinson 1822–1859 was a captain in the Bengal Engineers and a skilled artist. He drew directly from his personal experiences in India and here he intended to offer a humorous satirical look at the lives of British colonials in India especially in the wake of the Sepoy Rebellion set in the fictional village of "Kabob" . The author's dedication is to the Victorian novelist and man of letters William Thackeray himself born in India and begs him to "accept this salute of my little craft as a trifling token of congeniality admiration and esteem". .

Rare. <br>Joseph Davey Cunningham 1812-1851 wrote this landmark English work on the history of the Sikhs whilst serving as a Captain in the Bengal Engineers and the Political Agent to Bhopal. He had gathered extensive first-hand knowledge during eight years 1837–1845 of service as a political assistant on the Sikh frontier. The work gained notoriety for Cunningham's criticism of Sir Henry Hardinge's management of the Anglo-Sikh War. The subsequent disgrace led to his professional ruin and is reported to have hastened his early death at the age of 38.
