There are also two appendixes, one dealing with Indian Finance, and the other containing the 6overument of India Amendment Act of 1916. We think that it would have been better had the author incorporated his notice of the amendments with his discussion of the original Act. The author frsnkl expresses his own personal the most controversial questions of the ds. on educated India, aoeording to Government of India should be in people of India" (p. 16), and that no authority inoreased s ulimse goal "Psrlismen him, is" India responsible o he "he effeoive powers of opinions' The goal he real have so far governed hs Empire of India", for "hs myriad problems of India mus be and oan be solved only 'by hs Indians in India. 8rangers o Indian life and sentiment, animated wih hs nobler motives whioh have governed hs bes of Englishman, may be sfiioien rulers may even be good rulers--so long ms hs funoions of hs Sas are no 'more han hose of a polioamen.

When the author brings out a seoond edition of his book, we hope he will oorreot his statement on page 176 that the Eduotiod Department of the Government of India deals only with matters eduoationsl, for in feet the same Depart- sent deals also with municipalities, local boards, public health, sad matters soelssisstioal, whioh the author places under he Home Department (p. 75).
