First editions of both of these titles, here bound together, are uncommon, Library Hub shows just three of the former and four of the latter title, WorldCat adds no further copies. Nisbet was published largely for the evangelical and juvenile markets, and this little volume is no exception, combining elements of both. The first relates the conversion of Private Musgrave in India, while in the second, "The prefatory note, signed by H.J. Everard [actually W.J. Evered] Poole, contains a tract written by Mrs. Everard Poole entitled "What a Penny Once Did," and relates an incident regarding a soldier leaving for Zululand. The second part. is contributed by Staff Sergeant Beatson" (Mendelssohn). Raugh incorrectly identifies Beatson as Finlay C. Beatson, who served with the 62nd Regiment at around the right dates, joining in 1873, becoming the adjutant in 1878, and later being second-in-command in the Second Boer War; the Staff Sergeant served with the 99th, and was very definitely ORs. An excellent copy. Mendelssohn, I, p.100; Raugh, Anglo-Zulu War, 2784, for the second-named. Duodecimo. Original red cloth, title gilt to the front board, blind panels to both boards, royal blue surface-paper endpapers. Very slightly damp-mottled on the boards, light toning, but a very good copy.

First and only edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author's wife on the front free endpaper, "To Emleen Powell, In remembrance of a Friend she esteemed and valued from Mrs Thomas Gillilan, with her love. March 1912". This scarce and animated firsthand account of General Godwin's march on Martaban and Rangoon is found in the British Library and at Brown University only. Gillilan (1819-1900) enlisted in the 1830s and made captain in 1850, his four-decade career with the Madras Army culminating in a promotion to lieutenant-general in 1887. His account conveys much of the uncertainty facing British forces during the advance through lower Burma. "All is doubt. Many are the speculations as to the future before us. We are completely isolated and learn nothing" (pp. 7-9). In 1857, he married Agnes Eliza Sullivan (1865-1913) in Madras. Her inscription is accompanied by a four-line poem, seemingly of her composition: "What gathering all together / of the Lov'd ones from before / the welcome and the greeting / before that better shore". Following her husband's death, she endowed a divinity prize in his honour in Madras. Octavo, pp. 28. Mounted carbon print portrait of author as frontispiece, printed caption, motto, and insignia below. Original reddish brown cloth, front board lettered in gilt with sword and medal devices in gilt. Cloth slightly rubbed, small notch to fore edges of boards, free endpapers browned, contents a little loose at stitching but holding: a very good copy.
