That well-known traveller, Grace Thompson Seton, has written a book

on India which she calls Yes, Lady Saheb (Hodder and Stoughton,. 16s.). The text is better than the title and the illustrations are excellent. Where she deals with Pets, men and women, outdoor life, Mrs. Seton shows acumen and ability in presenting her points. She is not so fortunate in ,discussing " the mysterious Hindu." Yet Mrs. Seton is always interesting and her book may be recommended to those who—in American idiom—want to get " highlights and close-ups" of a vast and varied sub-continent, rather than the profundities of Aryan thought.
