The Makers of British India. By W. H. Davenport Adams.

(J. Hogg.)—This is a " new edition, revised, and brought down to date," of a useful book. We see that a brief sketch of recent vice royalties has been added ; there is even a paragraph about Lord Elgin, with prognostications of good which we heartily wish may be fulfilled. The list of " books for consultation " does not seem to have been subjected to the revision given to the volume. We see no mention of the admirable series of " Rulers of India " that has been issued by the Clarendon Press.
