[Under this heading we notice such Books qf the week as have not been reserved for review in other forms.]
At Delhi. By Lovat Fraser. (W. Thacker and Co. 6s.)—Mr. Fraser deserves the credit of having distanced his competitors in producing the very earliest volume of u-hat will doubtless be a numerous body of books. At Delhi contains the author's corre- spondence published in the Times of India, " written for the most part," he tells us, "at the end of the telegraph wire." We shall please him best by not waiting for a careful consideration of his book, but giving it the early notice which its prompt appearance deserves. " The State Ball" is described in a letter dated January 7th, and "Afterthoughts" was written on January 13th, and we have the whole narrative in volume form on February 24th (the day of writing this notice).
