Excerpt from Indian Frontier Warfare It has been decided bv the editor of this series that this book shall deal onlv with Indian Frontier War fare in so far as it is exemplified by campaigns and expeditious which have taken place during the last twenty years. This decision is made on the grounds that though valuable lessons have been and can be drawn from ancient wars, yet that equally useful and equally appropriate lessons are to be found nearer our own times, and that a study of these is especially essential as regards Indian Frontier Warfare, since the invention of the breechloader and the extensive intro duction of railways have so materially altered the conditions under which Indian campaigns are under.
