The Siege of Krishnapur on Report on Epidemic Cholera: “Let me now read to you the conclusion of Dr Baly in his _Report on Epidemic Cholera_, drawn up at the desire of the Royal College of Physicians and published in 1854.”
The Siege of Krishnapur on The Princess: “"What was that phrase of Tennyson's? '...the soft and milky rabble of womankind...!'" and later "the qualities of Tennyson's 'great, broad-shouldered, genial Englishman'" -- both lines are from Tennyson's narrative poem The Princess (1847).”
The Siege of Krishnapur on De l'Attaque et de la Défense des Places: “"...the only sound that came to them was the ghostly echo of a phrase of Vauban he had read: _Place assiégée, place prise!_" -- the Collector's siege manuals are named as "the Collector's authorities, Vauban and so forth".”
