English Impressions. By N. G. Welinkar, M.A. (Tripathi and Co.,

Bombay. Is. 6d.)—Mr. Welinkar, who is Superintendent of the Municipal Schools in Bombay, spent the best part of a year in England, and after his return communicated the impressions then received in a series of seven lectures. These lectures are given in the volume before us, and, along with the speeches of the officials and others who took the chair on the several occasions, make very interesting reading. Nationality—Mr. Welinkar first-realised the idea, he tells us, in England—education, the position of woman, and the amusements of the people are among the subjects treated.
