Station Stories. By Murray Cator. (Arrowsmith, Bristol.)— As it certainly

is not true that the Grand Trunk Road and un- counted empty beer-bottles are the only monuments of British sway in India, so we may refuse to believe that the British rulers themselves have nothing to do but make love more or less innocently. Yet this is the staple subject of Station Stories, as it is of the great mass of similar literature. This volume is written with a fair amount of literary ability, but it certainly is a little tiresome.
