I can give you several more. I'm currently reading Judith Flanders' "The Victorian City", which is jammed full of useful information, even if half the book is about London before 1850. I just finished the first of the Matthew Hervey novels by Allan Mallinson, which again is set much earlier than the game period but gives a lot of insight into the British military, and shows where it was before the Cardwell Reforms.
You can get a copy of the Poinsett Cavalry manual from the Internet Archive, or from
http://www.shadowlandstudios.com/2nd_US ... ining.html. It's what we're basing in-game cavalry practices off of. Other goodies on the Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg include the writings of Helena Blavatsky, Annie Besant, and other members of the Theosophical Society, which will be one of the new Lodges in the Players Companion. There's a wealth of primary sources both on Gutenberg and available through Google Books.
As far as the Samsut go,
http://www.assyrianlanguages.org/akkadian/search.php has been invaluable in constructing the Samsut language. Check out
