Reproduction of the original: Historical Record of the Fiifteenth Regiment of Foot by Richard Cannon

This is an account of the services of the Hussar regiment. The Queen's Own Regiment of Hussars was initially corps of heavy cavalry. It was composed of independent troops of horse and dragoons, raised in Scotland during the commotions which followed the Revolution of 1688. These horsemen's title and unique dress were later widely adopted by light cavalry regiments in European armies in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This historical work contains various accurate details on the Hussar Regiment. These include the period and circumstances of the original formation of the Regiment, the stations at which they have been from time to time employed, the battles, sieges, and other military operations in which they took part, and the names of the officers, killed or wounded by the enemy.

This is one of the most valuable books in the armoury of the serious student of British Military history. It is a new and revised edition of Arthur White's much sought-after bibliography of regimental, battalion and other histories of all regiments and Corps that have ever existed in the British Army. This new edition includes an enlarged addendum to that given in the 1988 reprint. It is, quite simply, indispensible.

Empire, Kinship and Violence traces the history of three linked imperial families in Britain and across contested colonial borderlands from 1770 to 1842. Elizabeth Elbourne tracks the Haudenosaunee Brants of northeastern North America from the American Revolution to exile in Canada; the Bannisters, a British family of colonial administrators, whistleblowers and entrepreneurs who operated across Australia, Canada and southern Africa; and the Buxtons, a family of British abolitionists who publicized information about what might now be termed genocide towards Indigenous peoples while also pioneering humanitarian colonialism. By recounting the conflicts that these interlinked families were involved in she tells a larger story about the development of British and American settler colonialism and the betrayal of Indigenous peoples. Through an analysis of the changing politics of kinship and violence, Elizabeth Elbourne sheds new light on transnational debates about issues such as Indigenous sovereignty claims, British subjecthood, violence, land rights and cultural assimilation.
