India is so great that, without some preliminary knowledge of this kind, both the newspaper accounts and the special narratives devoted to ttie insurrection are scarcely intelligible. They necessarily presuppose in the reader a fami- liarity with things and places of which he knows too little Mr.Minium is not only an intelligent but an observant traveller, and he possesses the descrip- tive faculty in a high degree. His travels immediately preceded the mutiny, and Ins book was compiled from his notes and letters after that event, to which he therefore constantly refers, and tells us much about it, in connexion with it» principal scenes. Upon the whole we repeat that Mr. Mintum's volume is the best introduction to India with which we are acquainted. Tablet. )00k laws and institutions under which they live; and comments with shrewdness and sagacity on these subjects. \Ve do not know any work which gives a better or so good a view of the political and social condition of India.... The author is evidently a man of sound and vigorous understanding, and his work bears on every page the stamp of that manly common sense, that mixture of shrewdness and kindliness which we consider pre-eminently English. We cannot afford space for extracts from Mr. Min- tum's book, rich as it is in .available passages ; but we heartily recommend it to all who wish for an impartial and reliable authority on India and her affairs.
