These volumes are offered by the Publisher as a new Edition and Selection of Major H. B. Henderson's Series of Anglo-Indian Sketches and Tales, which, under the title of "THE BENGALEE, were printed in England in 1829. To these are added some later Sketches from the same pen; the whole having originally appeared, with a few exceptions, in the "Oriental Observer."

They were intended as illustrations, and slight general pictures of society and manners in India. It is hoped, they still present the same faithful

delineation-with the advantage of preserving, at the present time, the record of certain traits, which are now growing somewhat obsolete, under our increasing intercourse with Europe, and the hourly changing state of AngloIndian society.
