in pamphlet form a recent address given by Lord Ronaldshay on India, which presents a picture of that vast sub-continent, with its vivid social and racial antagonisms and its colossal scale in numbers and in area, which every student of Eastern affairs should read. The essay is for students, not experts, but the latter might take this very wise remark to heart, regarding the poorer part of the population : " It must not be assumed that because it is illiterate it is therefore unintelligent. In India the two terms are in no sense synonymous."
