The Price of Empire. By E. Hobart Hampden. (Wm. Black-

wood and Sons. 6s.)—This is an Anglo-Indian story which concerns the unrest which has been going on all over India during the last few years. There is a native assistant commissioner who, misled by his intriguing sister, is not faithful to the master whom he serves, and there are many plots and counter-plots before the tragic event of the last chapter brings happiness to the hero and heroine. The pictures of Anglo-Indian life are well drawn, and the accounts of the native plots are both exciting and convincing.
