The subject of this volume, in view of the
continual extension of British dom inion in the
East and Of the great changes in its social and
religious condition now going on, is profoundly
interesting, and the writer brings to its discus
slon careful mind, amply stored with infor-
nation, acquired during residence of twenty
I'VE wears as a missionary in India. He pre-.
SCENTS an excellent general view of the geogra-
ply Of the country and its history; but the
parts IN which he discusses its POLITICAL social,
and religious condition, and the present state
and the prospects of Christianity, are most val
liable. The style of the author is rather loose
and discursive, and the reader must not expect
any brilliant or profound congratulations but
iull OF important facts and pertinent re-
sections.
1t forms a volume, neatly printed, of over six
hundred pages octave.
