A Pew Hints to Travellers to India. By an Anglo - Indian.

(W. H. Allen and Co.)—Here we have directions to the traveller how he is to make himself comfortable on board the steamer while he is going out, and how he may best manage when he has reached India. "Don't go to an hotel," is one important piece of advice. " Anglo-Indians who pretend to know the natives will be found shallow impostors," is another emphatic remark.—English Etiquette for Indian Gentlemen, by W. T. Webb, MA. (Thacker and Spink, Calcutta), is doubtless a useful book, though of course, like most etiquette books, it contains much that sounds a little ridiculous.
