Shama, the African Chief. By Mrs. Wyndham Knight-Bruce. (Kegan Paul,

Trench, and Co.)—" Edna Lyall " commends this little book, which, indeed, is worth reading. We often hear that the South African native gets harm rather than good from Christianity. Khama is an instance which must be allowed much weight on the other side. Under any circumstances, he would have been a notable man ; but that his religion has made him what he is can hardly be doubted.
