  • George Bruce Malleson was an English officer in India and an author, born in Wimbledon. Educated at Winchester, he obtained a cadetship in the Bengal infantry in 1842, and served through the second Burmese War. His subsequent appointments were in the civil line, the last being that of guardian to the young maharaja of Mysore. He retired with the rank of colonel in 1877, having been created C.S.I. in 1872. He was a voluminous writer, his first work to attract attention being the famous "Red Pamphlet", published at Calcutta in 1857, when the Mutiny was at its height. He continued, and considerably rewrote the History of the Indian Mutiny (6 vols. , 1878-1880), which was begun but left unfinished by Sir John Kaye. Among his other books the most valuable are History of the French in India (2nd ed. , 1893) and The Decisive Battles of India (3rd ed. , 1888).
  • George Bruce Malleson, anglo-indisk militär och historiker, född 8 maj 1825, död 1 mars 1898, kom 1842 ut till Indien som fänrik, innehade flera civilmilitära befattningar, blev 1873 överste och var 1869-1877 uppfostrare för maharajan av Mysore. Malleson skrev en mängd arbeten i indisk historia, bland vilka märks History of the french in India (1868), History of the indian mutiny (6 bd. 1878-1880; påbörjad av sir John Kaye), The decisive battles of India samt biografier över Wellesley (1889), Akbar (1890), Dupleix (s. å. ) och Warren Hastings (1894). Hans stil är livfull; den starkt personliga uppfattningen gör honom stundom partisk.
