Ilietory of Oujareit. By the late Sir Edward Olive Bayley.
(W. H. Allen and Co.)—This volume is a sequel to Sir H. Elliot's "History of the Mohammedan Empirein India," and a oarrying-out of the plan of giving to the English public the "History of India as told by its own Historians." The main body of the volume is a translation by the late Professor Dawson of the Ifirft.i-Sikandari, while illustrations have been taken from other sources. Sir Edward Bayley died before his work was sent to the press. The work is one which it is net within the competence of the present writer to criticise, and he must content himself with chronicling its appearance and commending it to the attention of all who would thoroughly and carefully study Indian bietory.—We may mention at the same time soother book of a more popular kind, issued by the same publishera,—Half.Hows with Muhammad, by Arthur N. Wollaston. The title is not a very happy one, for it leads on to expect studies in the Koran. What Mr. Wollaston gives no is "a popular account of Muhammad and his more immediate followers," together with a description of the Sacred Book, and of the religious system that is built upon it. The volume is fall of information, historical and social.
