Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Roberts: A Biography On this particular ship was a lad of nineteen, small and delicate to look at, so delicate indeed that older people shook their heads and talked of the folly of his facing a tropical climate.' But underneath the apparent delicacy lay a vigorous spirit and a wiry constitution, the love of a simple, hardy outdoor life, the hatred of anything like luxury or coddling. For young Frederick Roberts was every inch of him a soldier's son, and India, the land of his birth, was the land which called him. He came of a fighting and of an Irish stock, and what better combination could be found as an heritage for one destined to be the greatest soldier of his age His great-great grandfather, a Huguenot refugee, settled in Water ford, had fought for England at the battle of the Boyne. Two of his uncles had been in the navy; the one, Sir Samuel Roberts, who had been in fifty three actions, having commenced his adventurous career at the age of eleven, and afterwards had per formed deeds of daring which carry us back to the days of the Elizabethan sea-dogs. And his father, Sir Abraham Roberts, who lived to the age of ninety, has been called the patriarch of Indian Generals, and was a man of strong character, sound sense, and great tact, who won a high reputation for the manner in which he handled critical affairs in Afghanistan.

Book excerpt: AUTOBIOGRAPHY and its half-brother biography are two of the most useful members of the great family of literature. Lord Roberts placed a high value on their services. His own fascinating Forty One Years in India and his careful study of the Rise of Wellington are sufficient proofs of this. Throughout his long life, Roberts always retained his youthful affection for John Nicholson. Nicholson impressed the author more profoundly. He was the beau-ideal of a soldier and a gentleman. The author acknowledges him in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Lord Roberts, K. G., V. C A chapter deals with a record of the veteran's last glorious campaign - a campaign against the ignorance of the country, against the apathy of the country, and against a long standing prejudice of the country. By his bold action he knew he had embraced the unpopular side; he had entered upon a bitter and feverish contest which would demand a considerable amount of toil; he would have to encounter bitter Opponents and at times meet a hostile auditory. But every consideration of mere prudence was absorbed in the great ruling passion - the safety of England - England that to me has been so much; England that for me has done so much.
