 growing industries and armaments, and the origin, incidents, and probable outcome 

 of the war with China. The volume is illustrated by a Japanese artist of repute; it

DEPUTY SURGEON-GENERAL C. T. PASR'E, late of the Bengal 

 Army, and Edited by F. G. AFLALO. 



Life and Travel in Lower Burmah, with frontispiece. Crown Svo, 6s. 



"In dealing with life in Burmah we are given a pleasant insight into 

 Eastern life ; and to those interested in India and our other Eastern 

 possessions, the opinions Mr Paske offers and the suggestions he makes will 

 be delightful reading. Mr Paske has adopted a very light style of writing in 

 'Myamma,' which lends an additional charm to the short historical-cum- 

 geographical sketch, and both the writer and the editor are to be commended 

 for the production of a really attractive book." — Public Opinion. 



ALEXANDER ROGERS, Bombay Civil Service Retired. 



The Land Revenue of Bombay. A History of its Administration, 

 Rise, and Progress. 2 vols, with 18 Maps. Demy 8vo, 30s. 



"These two volumes are full of valuable information not only on the Land Revenue, 

 but on the general condition and state of cultivation in all parts of the Bombay Pre- 

 sidency. Each collectorate is described separately, and an excellent map of each is 

 given, showing the divisional headquarters, market-towns, trade centres, places of 

 pilgrimage, travellers, bungalows, municipalities, hospitals, schools, post offices, 

 telegraphs, railways, &c." — Mirror of British Museum. 



" Mr Rogers has produced a continuous and an authoritative record of the land 

 changes and of the fortunes of the cultivating classes for a full half-century, together 

 with valuable data regarding the condition and burdens of those classes at various 

 periods before the present system of settlement was introduced. Mr Rogers now 

 presents a comprehensive view of the land administration of Bombay as a whole, the 

 history of its rise and progress, and a clear statement of the results which it has 

 attained. It is a narrative of which all patriotic Englishmen may feel proud. The old 

 burdens of native rule have been lightened, the old injustices mitigated, the old fiscal 

 cruelties and exactions abolished. Underlying the story of each district we see a per- 

 ennial struggle going on between the increase of the population and the available 

 means of subsistence derived from the soil. That increase of the population is the 

 direct result of the peace of the country under British rule. But it tends to press 

 more and more severely on the possible limits of local cultivation, and it can only be 

 provided for by the extension of the modern appliances of production and distribu- 

 tion. Mr Rogers very properly confines himself to his own subject. But there is 

 ample evidence that the extension of roads, railways, steam factories, and other 

 industrial enterprises, have played an important part in the solution of =the problem, 

 and that during recent years such enterprises have been powerfully aided by an 

 abundant currency." — The Times.
