Subject: Indian mutiny
I was watching the television version of Zadie Smith's White Teeth the other
day, and noticed that the name of the Indian mutineer has been changed from
Mangal Pande to Bahadur Khan. Can anyone throw light onto the change? Smith
has Pande as the first sepoy to revolt, which seems to be generally accepted,
but the only Bahadur Khan I've been able to locate is either a contemporary
sitar player, or a 17th century ruler of Turkmenistan. Neither seems terribly
useful.

Subject: Breeching
I'm putting together a footnote in my dissertation and need to find out at
what age boys were 'breeched' in Victorian England. When was the custom
phased out? I'd be very grateful if anyone knows the answers to these
questions!

Subject: quotation query
Can anyone tell me the source of the following quotation, supposedly from 'one
of the most consummate art-critics that ever lived'? (Ruskin?)
'accurately, in proportion to the rightness of the cause, and the purity of the
emotion, is the possibility of the fine art-- . . . . with absolute precision,
from the highest to the lowest, the fineness of the possible art is an index of
the moral purity and majesty of the emotion it expresses.'
It's cited in a novel from 1880.
Many thanks
Helen Debenham

Subject: Re: Indian mutiny
Were you only looking on the net? There's plenty of information on
Bahadur Khan in standard print histories of the Mutiny. He was a rebel
leader defeated by Sir Colin Campbell outside Bareilly, 5 May 1858.

Try John Ruskin, 'The relation of Art to Morality' (1870), Works, vol. 20,
