" It is precisely such a summary aa was wanted by the general reader, and will be most acceptable to those who have not the leisure or the opportunity to master more elaborate works on the subject. Such a volume, in particular, has long been waVited in our schools, where little is taught of India more than may be learnt as a geographical exercise ; and yet the stirring and romantic interest of the theme, leaving out of view its importance, should recommend it to the teacher as likely to prove a welcome and animating addition to the usual coarse of historical instruction.

Ur. Taylor confines himself for the most part to facts, avoiding a strong expression of political opinion one way or the other ; and hence his work may be the more saftly intrusted to the youthful reader." Jo/tn Bull, November \'.i.
