The Wayside. By " Andrul." (Hodder and Stoughton. 2s.net.) —This
is a collection of stories about the many classes of people who make up the native population of India, and one may hazard the guess that " Andrul" is a pseudonym for an Anglo-Indian political soldier. The stories are written with great insight into the way in which the native mind works, and the study of Gaizari Lal Misr, BA., gives ground for reflection to all people who are anxious for the maintenance of British supremacy in the Indian Empire. Almost all the sketches are in some way sad or terrible to the eyes of the English reader, but they are attractive reading for all that. The circumstances of the story called "The Passing of Janki," which are guaranteed to be true by the author, might well be inquired into by the Government of India.
