The Life and Life-Work of Behramji M. Malabari. By Dayaram

-Gidumal, LL.B. (Education Society's Press, Bombay.)—Mr. Malabari is an Indian reformer who has specially devoted him- self to the abolition of infant marriage and compulsory widow. hood. He has seen already some of the "travail of his soul ; " let us hope that he will see more. About a third of the volume is occupied with an interesting sketch of the reformer's life, the remainder with his writings, chiefly in the form of notes contri- buted to periodicals and speeches, and some notes of travel under the title of " Rambles." There is much that is noteworthy in this volume.
