Forrest, 3 vols. sm. folio, cloth, £1. 1s Calcutta, 1890 A highly important work, giving for the first time the real history of the governorship of Warren Hastings; from the official documents which had previously been unavailable to refute Macaulay's caricature of the subject. Prof. Forrest has done what the accused statesman was unable to do, and has furnished a vindication which, however tardy, is absolutely complete-so far at least as the scope of the Selections has extended. The editor has included a vast number of state papers, extending from 1772, the year in which Hastings became Governor of Bengal, to 1785, when he left India. Together with the editor's excellent Introduction the matter fills three large volumes, which will be found interesting alike to the Indian specialist and to the general student of history.-H. G.

Vol. VII, No. 60, 7 plates of 14 coloured examples of Cotton Prints, 28 October, 1897 The Old East India Company. THE REGISTER OF LETTERS OF THE GoBernour and Company of Merchants of London trading into THE EAST INDIES, the One stout volume 8vo. Introduction, lxxxiv pp.; the Letters, 1-504 pp. ; THIS Register of Letters, hidden in obscurity for near 300 years, gives the best picture of the early English trade operations which led to the establishment of the power of the East India Company. A carefully made Index makes these valuable Letters a ready book of reference. The official value of the volume consists in the early date and important character of the documents it contains. Over one-fourth of them are of the first six years (1600 to 1606) of the existence of the "London East India Company," commonly called "The Old East India Company," a period of which the records have hitherto been extremely meagre. The volume covers all the Separate Voyages," and the first seven years of their "Joint Stock Voyages," for a list of them see page xiv. The contemporary influence of the Company's early Voyages is to be traced even in the plays of Shakespeare. To the opium ranters SIR GEORGE BIRDWOOD replies "As for opium smoking, I am satisfied, from my own experience of it, that it is as innocuous as smoking hay, straw, or stubble; opium is one of the greatest gifts of Providence." The interest and importance of these early Voyages and Adventures of the East India Company is boundless, and their influence on the destinies of the World indisputable. As a result we have in the East our splendid Indian Empire. In the West, we see the greater part of the continent of North America peopled by the Anglo-Saxon race, due to the attempts organized by the Company to find a North-West passage, in 1602, which resulted in the discovery and colonization of New England. On pp. 21, 158, 190, etc., are the terms, agreements, and regulations for the Voyages to attempt the discovery of the North West passage which entitles this volume to a place in the libraries of American collectors. Sir George Birdwood's Introduction gives a vivid description of the various forces employed in rearing our magnificent Eastern Empire, and points out the dangers to be encountered in maintaining it. He concludes by saying, "If the Spaniards have taken a just pride in celebrating the fourth centenary of the discovery of the Americas by Columbus, and the Portuguese are to follow them by celebrating the fourth centenary of the doubling of the Cape of Good Hope by Da Gama, is it too much to suggest that Englishmen should also bestir themselves for the celebration of the third centenary of the Old' East India Company's 'First Voyage' in 1601 ?"
