    frequent episodes of genuine eloquence which mark his discourses , j form an abundant

    expXlanation of the influence which he has now for so long a time continued to exert . From Messrs . Kegan PaulTrench & Co . —

    , , ' How India is Governed , being an account of England's Work in India , ' by Alexander Mackenzie . The author of this work tells us—and we

    can easily believe him—that there are few things which so immediately and so painfully impress an Englishman on returning from India to his

    native hind as the general paucity of information among his countrymen on England ' s work in the East . Perhaps — 1 . it would be more accurate to

    complain of the scanty use made of the information which is available in regard to our great Indian Emp ire than to grumble C / at its pauci JL 7 ty v , but practi * --

    cally what Mr . Mackenzie means is that the majority of home-staying Knglishmen are lamentably ignorant tj as to — the — history — — % / , government o — , and

    customs of India . To remedy this he provides , with a brevity and clearness which will leave the ignorant in future without excuse , a summary

    of the actual condition of things in the Empire , setting forth in order the facts as to its legislation - - armypolicepost officetelegrap fc

    Benedict . ' In two parts . By George Gr . Sargent . A neat and attractively bound volume , containing more than three hundred and eighty

    crown octavo pages , and twenty full-page illustrations . The reader will find it not only amusing to follow the fortunes of John Tincroft , and

    other admirable characters , hut the volume also conveys religious thoughts . We will quote a paragraph A O M . containing O a description Xof John

    Tincroft : —' John Tincro-ft , though an Oxford undergraduate , was a shy and awkward youth of about tvro or three-ancl-twenty / . He had never had

    * the advantage of society—of female society , of course , is meant ; and this deprivation had boen hurtful ; , for it had made almost a misanthrope 17 of

    him . His mother he had never known ; he had no sister , nor aunt , nor fair cousin to initiate him into the mysteries of easy intercourse with his

    species . Everybody knew that John Tincroft was under the cloud of straitened means . Tincroft , at any ratehad felt it keenly ; and it had increased

    , his natural shyness . ' From the same . — ' Talks about Christian Living . '
