Officers of the Madras Army 1760-1834
An extremely rare 1838 book published by Messrs Dodwell and Miles of the Court of General Agency of the East India Company, equivalent of what today would be the 'Pensions Department'. With ready access to personnel records of the officers based in Madras, the publishers have provided a wealth of information, typically including the year of enrolment of each officer as a cadet, the date of each promotion in rank, and of retirement, resignation or death, whether in India or in Europe. Nearly five thousand officers are listed. The original work was indexed only on the initial letter of each officer's surname and year of commission. The CD-ROM is supplemented by a new index which is wholly alphabetic, greatly assisting those seeking information on specific ancestors.

Price: £15 (EEC) or £18 (non-EEC)

Daily Life during the India Mutiny
The personal experiences of 1857 as recounted by the author J. W. Sherer, C.S.I. Published by Swan Sonnenschein & Co Ltd of Paternoster Square in 1898. Sherer landed in Calcutta in 1846 and became Assistant Magistrate in Agra in 1848. He was captured during the mutiny and survived to tell his story. There is a short list of casualties at the back of the book, but its most useful aspect is the personal account of the mutiny.
