Excerpt from The Bayard of India: A Life of General Sir James Outram by Captain Lionel IN all those qualities which mark the born leader of men, James Outram had very few rivals among the best and greatest of the soldier statesmen who rose to fame in the service of the old East India Company. From the day when the little general speared his first boar in the jungles of Western India, to the last hours of hard office work as a leading member of the Calcutta Council, our Indian Bayard won alike the confidence and the love of all who served with or under him, by sheer force of that personal magnetism which springs from lofty impulses guided and sustained by a generous disregard of self. His piety was deep, if unob trusive; and a heart more steadily loyal, in every sense of the word, - loyal to his country, his official chiefs, his family, friends and comrades of every degree, and not least of all to his own manly upright self, - never beat, I think, in human breast.
