"No living writer is better qualified for the execution of the task
which he has undertaken than the historian of the Affghan War, and we
may at once say that the instalment of his work now before us is in every
way worthy of his reputation and of its subject. He has had free access to
all the best sources of information, and he has made excellent use of them."

This work by affording a key to the Fashions of the People, and to
the Cotton, Silk, and Wool Textiles in actual use in India-is of special
interest to Manufacturers, Merchants, and Agents; as also to the Student
and lover of ornamental art.

"We congratulate Dr. Forbes Watson on having produced so useful
and so practical a work, and on having diffused knowledge upon all material
points connected with the clothing of the people of India, which heretofore
had been unattainable. His book is written in a clear and thoroughly
intelligible style throughout; it is handsomely got up, and embellished by
numerous coloured photographs, from which the various styles of costume
and portion of clothing, male and female, will be more readily understood
than from mere description. The colours, too, of the various fabrics are
given from the articles themselves, and we would in particular invite atten-
tion to the plates at page 118, all or most being figures of respectable
Mohammedans in Upper India in rich dresses, as conveying excellent
impressions of colour and effect in native Indian costume."-Times.

WM. H. ALLEN & Co.,

An Inquiry into the Theories of History,-Chance,—Law,— Will. With Special Reference to the Principle of Positive Philosophy. By WILLIAM ADAM. 8vo. 15s.

"The whole book bears the evident mark of maturity of thought. The third chapter is full of thoughtful and able argument, in which the positions of Comté, and even of Mill, are powerfully and successfully assailed."-Spectator.

"It is well thought and weightily written. We have not come across a book of the present day for a considerable while so far removed from the common run of writing and of thinking as this one is."-Athenæum. Thomson's Lunar and Horary Tables.

The History of the British Empire in India, by Edward Thornton, Esq. Containing a Copious Glossary of Indian Terms, and a Complete Chronological Index of Events, to aid the Aspirant for Public Examinations. Third edition. 1 vol. 8vo. With Map. 12s.

"Mr. Thornton is master of a style of great perspicuity and vigour, always interesting, and frequently rising into eloquence. His power of painting character, and of bringing before the eye of the reader the events which he relates, is remarkable, and if the knowledge of India can be made popular, we should say his is the pen to effect it.- Times."

The Library Edition of the above in 6 volumes, 8vo., may be had, price £2 8s. Thornton's Gazetteer of India.

Compiled chiefly from the records at the India Office. By EDWARD THORNTON. 1 vol., 8vo., pp. 1015. With Map. 21s.

*The chief objects in view in compiling this Gazetteer are :— 1st. To fix the relative position of the various cities, towns, and villages, with as much precision as possible, and to exhibit with the greatest practicable brevity all that is known respecting them; and

2ndly. To note the various countries, provinces, or territorial divisions, and to describe the physical characteristics of each, together with their statistical, social, and political circumstances.

To these are added minute descriptions of the principal rivers and chains of mountains; thus presenting to the reader, within a brief compass, a mass of information which cannot otherwise be obtained, except from a multiplicity of volumes and manuscript records.
