Pen anti Pencil Sketches. By W. H. Florio Hutchisson (George

Trigger). Edited by Rev. John Wilson. (Sampson Low and Co.)— This volume is made up of the recollections and experiences of Mr. Hutchisson in India, and is divided between political and social matters and sport. Some part of the former portion is obsolete. • It refers to the days of the Company, which we are told is "allowed to raise and recruit in Great Britain and Ireland two European regi- ments," Sic., and this without any comment from the editor. This gentleman has Indian experience of his own—if we may judge from his decided views on Indian spelling—and it was his business to point out any matters in which time had made his author obsolete. The sporting papers will probably be read with pleasure by the public to which they appeal.
