Indian Memories. By W. S. Burrell and Edith E. Cuthell.

(Bentley and Son.)—There are some very vivid sketches of Indian life in this volume. Both places and persons are vigorously described by those who know them well. " These," we read in the Introduction, "are no globe-trotter's recollections, culled hastily during a few weeks' cold weather scamper. They are memories of such lives as Anglo-Indians live, year in and year out." Such chapters as " The Coming of the Cold" and " An Indian Well : a Hot-Weather Memory," though very different in tone and subject, will not easily be forgotten by a reader, so strong is the impression of reality that they will make upon him. " Water" is a very striking reminiscence of the Mutiny, and " A Mountain Hermit " shows us a very curious figure. -
