SynopsisExcerpt from The Edinburgh Review, or Critical Journal, Vol. 185: For January, 1897 April, 1897, to Be Continued Quarterly The magnificent field which India has laid open since the middle of the last century for the developement of high military and administrative capacity has been largely extended during the recent half of the present century. When, in 1819, the Punjab had been fairly conquered after two hard-fought campaigns, and when Oudh, the last and greatest kingdom of North India, had been annexed by Lord Dalhousie, it might have been plausibly anticipated that the whole country was about to settle down soberly under the English sovereignty, that the rough war time had passed behind us, and that at least we might have before us a long interval of internal tranquillity. In reality, we were only just turning the first leaf of a new chapter in our history, which was to record a great civil war, and profound political vicissitudes. The sudden explosion of the sepoy revolt swept away all visions of peace and security, and violently shattered for a time the whole fabric of our government; the East India Company disappeared; the native army, which for a hundred years had shared all our triumphs and reverses, turned against us and was broken up after a desperate struggle. Our military system, the chief support and instrument of our dominion, became entirely disorganised; and the arduous duty of gradually reconstructing a new army upon a better model, in accordance with the changed needs and circumstances of the Empire, devolved upon the rising generation of distinguished soldiers who had won their spurs in the Indian Mutiny.
