Major Sleeman, late in charge of the Jubbulpore District._
[Read at the Meeting of the Society on the 8th September, 1841.] [This reprint is a pamphlet of eight pages. The text was again reprinted verbatim as Chapter 14 of vol. 2 of the _Rambles and Recollections_ in the original edition, corresponding to Chapter 7 of the edition of 1893, and Chapter 62 of this (1915) edition. No contributions by the author of later date than the above to any periodical have been traced. In a letter dated Lucknow, 12th January, 1853 (_Journey,_ vol. 2, p. 390) the author says-'I was asked by Dr. Duff, the editor of the _Calcutta Review,_ before he went home, to write some articles for that journal to expose the fallacies, and to counteract the influences of this [_scil_. annexationist] school; but I have for many years ceased to contribute to the periodical papers, and have felt bound by my position not to write for them.'] (11.)
