The Government of India. By Sir Courtenay Ebert. (Claren- don

Press. 10s. 6d. net.)—This brief historical survey of Parliamentary legislation relating to India, as the author describes it, is a model of concise and accurate statement. it is reprinted from the 1915 edition of The Government of India, with an additional section summarizing Mr. Montage's policy and the Act of 1919. The author offers no comment beyond remarking that the Act is "the most adventurous experiment" yet tried in British India, and that ten years hence "it will be easier to say where, how and why the experiment has succeeded or failed."
