of the army and navy, and of the relations be-
tween Europeans and natives are full of interesting
details and valuable information. It is gratifying
to know that the judicial and police systems,
which afford universal satisfaction, and have
repressed crime within very narrow limits,
are only modifications of those introduced.
by Sir Stamford Raffles. European legis-
lation for Orientals is always a very difficult
flatter, and the proceedings in the Indian law
courts are often tedious, expensive, and unsatisfac-
tory. The police system of Java, which was origin-
ally framed by an Englishman, deserves the atten-
tion of Indian statesmen, from its simplicity and
success. We heartily commend these volumes to the
attention of all connected with our Indian legisla-
tion, or interested in the welfare of those great
colonial possessions. Without accepting all the in-
ferences which Mr. Money draws from the facts he
records, or assuming that the application of the
Dutch system in India would have been equally suc-
cessful, there is no reason why we should not profit
- by the experience of others, and consider how far
the better state of their subjects and finances may
be due to causes under our own control. The com-
plete and varied information supplied by the work
before us renders it especially worthy of thought-
ful and attentive consideration.
