Lloyd's Sketches of Indian Life. (Chapman and Hall.) — Here we have

some scores of coloured pictures of life, English and native, in India. Soldiers in uniform, the incidents of travel, English amusements, bits of scenery, and other matters that defy classifi- cation, make up a very entertaining volume. Perhaps the most amusing is "Jones at Peace," with the punkah-wallah at work, with its contrast, "The Punkah-Wallah at Peace," with Jones at work on the mosquitoes.
