Opinions of the Press

Manchester Guardian.— "Colonel Hanna has given in a comparatively small space, and with admirable clearness, such a conspectus of recent frontier policy in India as can hardly be found elsewhere, and such a demonstration of its real meaning and too probable consequences as should have an effect, even at this eleventh hour, on every mind not obstinately closed against conviction."

Saturday Review.—"These problems are all of the highest interest and importance; they dominate our foreign policy, both in Europe and Asia; while for our Indian Empire, their proper interpretation and decision involve the gravest issues of prosperity and safety, bankruptcy and ruin."

The Scotsman.—" Colonel Hanna's Indian Problem, ' Backwards or Forwards ? ' is quite as remarkable as his first and second for its strength of conviction, thorough knowledge of his subject, and force of reasoning. There seems to the inexpert reader no escape. He not only advances an opinion, but proves it almost like a proposition in Euclid."

The Daily Graphic. — "Colonel Hanna has certainly collected a striking number of weighty utterances in favour of his main contention. That contention, briefly stated, is, that the Indian Government ought never to have advanced beyond the Indian Frontier at the foot of the mountains, and ought, as speedily as possible, to retire to that frontier."

Broad Arrow. — "Colonel Hanna may be satisfied that he has accomplished excellent and enduring work."
