Tara a Mahratta Tale

""Tara: A Mahratta Tale"" by Meadows Taylor is an ""attempt to bring the interior Hindoo and Mussulman life of a great Mahratta province during the most exciting times home to the hearts and understandings of Englishmen, to interest them in people with whom they have nothing except human nature in common."" The Times: ""For its rapid action, in fact, we have seldom read a better story, or one which is more full of incidents, sanguinary, trenchant, and robust."" The Daily Telegraph: ""A true and a wonderfully well-sustained piece of Oriental life and striking history.""
