Sir Verney Lovett's lucid and dispassionate History of the Indian

Nationalist _Movement, which was reviewed at length in the Spectator of May 8th last, has reached a third edition (Murray, 12s. net). To this the author has added a supple- mentary chapter tracing the course of events from April, 1919, to the end of last year, and especially the development of Mr. Gandhi's non- oo- operation movement which is designed to wreck the new reforms. It is a sad story of human folly and weakness. The author expresses the hope that sane Indians will yet strive to turn their great new opportunities to good account, despite the fanatics.
