How to Develop Productive Industry in India and the East.

Edited by P. R. Cola. (Virtue.)—In this work the late proprietor of the Ark- wright Cotton Mills in Bombay gives an account of the processes of manufacture required for cotton, jute silk, oils, paper and other raw materials ; of dyeing and printing, of working mines, and of the management of iron foundries ; with a view of developing the resources of our Eastern colonies. He has collected a very copious mass of infor- mation from many sources, and we trust that his efforts will be re- warded.
