Sir Philip Hutchins, whose long and distinguished career in Southern

India will be remembered by many Anglo- Indians, sends us his privately printed autobiography, of which sonic copies may be obtained from the League of Empire, 124 Belgrave Road, S.W. 1. Sir Philip is one of I hat splendid band of Haileybury men who went out in the middle of the last century to the Indian Civil Service. He was a Judge in Madras, and it speaks well for that much maligned climate that this interesting record of an epoch in our dealings in India should have been written in his eighty-ninth year.
