P-
" The Book before as is evidently penned by one acquainted
with the country in which the scene is laid. The Author. or rather
Editor, for so he denominates himself, has preferred keeping close
to truth snd character, than to range widely in the domains of
fancy ; It is, fair, therefore, we consider his book in this point of
view ; and it will be found an entertaining work, imputing, with
amusement, no small share of useful information."—New Monthly
Magazine.
" Pandurang Hari is • Novel ; the story, said to have been
written by a flindoo, in the Mahratta tongue, is fictitious, though
it may embody many real Incidents, and some historical facts,
which we belie° it does. Its great merit, independent of a narrative
of continued interest, and great variety of scene and circumstance,
lies to its portraiture of the II indoo character. The main story is
replete with singular adventttres, sometimes amusing, at others
painful, but alws Instructive. There are, also, many episodes,
which will be read with pleasure."—Literary Chmnicle.

" They (31r. Holman's r ges) are% themselves agreeable; and
they offer to the reflecting mind curious phenomena to trace, which
are not to be discovered in the Travels of many who journey with
their eyes wide open. We hope we have said enongh to recom-
mend this extraordinary production to the public"—Literary
Ousts.

" However Mr. Holman may surer from the privation of one of
the best faculties of the body, it will be seen that he is an observant
traveller, possessing more intelligence, and collecting more real in-
formation, than many writers who are free from the disadvantages
under which he labours. He has given us a work which, whether
we consider its .contents, or the circumstances under which it was
written, possesses Intense interest. It gives a lively picture of the
places and people Mr. Holman encountered in his travels. and is
NU of entertaining anecdotes and descriptions."—Literary Chro.
