Life and Human Nature. By Sir Bampfylde Fuller. (John Murray.

9s. net.)—Sir Bampfylde Fuller has studied human nature as an administrator before writing of it as a philo- sopher. For many years he was engaged in the fascinating task of governing men in India. " It is probable," he justly says, " that in this business one gets a closer insight into the complicated working of human nature than by any other course of experience or study." His mature reflections on the problems of existence should therefore be read with even greater interest than is warranted by their intrinsic merit.
