NEW EDITIONS.—Cides, Customs, and Superstitions of India, by John Campbell
Oman, D.Lit. (T. Fisher Unwin, 14s. net), is a greatly enlarged reissue of a volume published some years ago under the title of" Indian Life; Religious and Social."—My Inner Life. By John Beattie Crozier. 2 vols. (Longmans and Co. Is. net.) The Light of Asia ; or, The Great Renunciation. By Sir Edwin Arnold. (Kegan Paul, Trench, and Co. 158. net.)—This handsome edition of Sir Edwin Arnold's finest poem is illustrated with thirty-two photographs of Indian scenery. It would have increased the interest of these if the localities had been given. Possibly, however, some of them come from regions where Buddhism is a negligible quantity.—The Chronicles of England, Prance, Spain, 4.c. By Sir John Froissart. (J. M. Dent and Co. 5s. net.)—The translation is that of Thomas Johnes (1803) as adapted by H. P. Dunster (1853). The illustrations, twelve in number, are by Mr. Herbert Cole.—Central Government. By II. D.
