THE SHADOW OF ABDUL. By H. K. Gordon. (Arnold. 7s.

The plot, centring around the daughter of an English official, ingeniously, but not extravagantly, links events in India with those in England ; there are admirably depicted scenes of life in both countries ; and the love interest is strong and natural.
