LIFE IN WESTERN INDIA. By Mrs. GUTHRIE, Author of “Through
Russia,” “My Year in an Indian Fort,” &c. 2 vols. crown 8vo.
With Illustrations. 21s.
“This is a remarkable book, for the variety and brilliance of the
pictures which it sets before us. Mrs. Guthrie is no ordinary observer.
She notes with a keen interest the life and character of the native
population. Altogether this is a charming book, in which we can find no
fault, except it be an embarrassing richness of matter which makes us
feel that we have given no idea of it to our readers; we can only say,
Let them judge for themselves.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._
“Mrs. Guthrie’s ‘Life in Western India’ is worthy the graphic pen of
this accomplished writer. Her familiarity with Indian life enables
her to portray in faithful and vivid hues the character of Hindoo
and Mohammedan tribes, noting the peculiarities of their social and
religious traditions, and representing their personal habits and
manners with picturesque fidelity.”--_Daily Telegraph._

anecdote.”--_Graphic._

PRINCE CHARLES AND THE SPANISH MARRIAGE: A Chapter of English
History, 1617 to 1623; from Unpublished Documents in the
Archives of Simancas, Venice, and Brussels. By SAMUEL RAWSON
GARDINER. 2 vols. 8vo. 30s.
“We doubt not that the reception of Mr. Gardiner’s valuable and
interesting volumes will be such as is due to their high merit. For the
first time in our literature the real history of the Spanish match, and
what took place when Charles and Buckingham were at Madrid, is here
revealed. Mr. Gardiner has brought to bear upon his subject an amount
of historical reading and consultation of authorities which we believe
to be almost without a parallel.”--_Notes and Queries._
“These valuable volumes are profoundly and vividly interesting.”
