The Second Volume of the Hindoos, in the Library of

Enter- taining Knowledge, completes the subject. It contains an outline of the native history of Hindostan, and a sketch of the Hindoo modes of government and warfare. We have also descriptions of their customs and amusements, a view of their literature, commerce, and fine and useful arts, with some account of the wild tribes of India. In his reflections the compiler is somewhat feeble; but the descriptive and narrative parts are amusing and informing ; full of anecdotes and picturesque description drawn from a great variety of sources, and presenting at a little cost both of money and la- bour some of the best parts of some very excellent volumes.
