George Dodd

George Dodd (1808–1881) was an English writer of popular works of information, much of it for the publisher Charles Knight. He contributed to the Penny Cyclopaedia and the Penny Magazine, wrote Days at the Factories and The Curiosities of Industry on the trades and manufactures of Britain, compiled The Food of London, and produced a history of the Crimean War under the title Pictorial History of the Russian War. The History of the Indian Revolt and of the Expeditions to Persia, China and Japan, published in 1859, was his narrative for Chambers of the events of 1856 to 1858 while they were still fresh.
