Indian Field Sports. (A. Constable and Co.)—Here we have reproduced

on a smaller scale ten of the illustrations originally published in Captain Williamson's " Oriental Field Sports," a work which first appeared in 1807. The ten represent pig- sticking, tiger-hunting (in one of these the tiger is represented as swimming a river), and the killing of the leopard, the buffalo, the bear, and the hog-deer. There is accompanying letterpress, also reduced from the original. The drawings are, we need not say, full of spirit. One of the interesting things about them is the curious proof which the costumes afford that eighty years ago our countrymen in India did not think much of accommodating themselves to the climate.
