*»* This book is the result of three years' wandering on the ouifiosts o/ 

 civilization, inhere author and artist proceeded by special perviission of 

 the Governor of India, thus being enabled to penetrate far into the wilds, 

 especially along the Gilgit road, where, as a rule, none but a sportsman 

 or an officer on duty penetrates. The ziolunie has numerous illustrations 

 reproduced in colour, line, and lialf-tone, and forms a work in which 

 Kashmir is described by pen, pencil, and brush. In the colour illustra- 

 tions the artist has caught the atmospht-re as well as the natural fea- 

 tures of the country she so ably portrays.

*i(* A comprehensive account of Life in Ceylon, written in a breezy 

 and bracing style. A Imost every variety of subject interesting to human 

 nature one finds within its pages. The domestic life of the .Anglo- 

 Cingalese, with its attendant 7t<orries in connection with the native ser- 

 vants, is graphically and humorously portrayed. Many a hint from 

 this alone may be taken by the unsophisticated European contemplating 

 residence or ez'en a visit to the Paradise of Adam, a hint that might be of 

 value in the expenditure of both time and 7~upees. The narrative of the 

 authoress' s gipsying in the jungle is intensely interesting, instructive, and 

 funny. In the many CLdventures narrated one gets a keen insight into the 

 lives and characteristics of peoples beyond the pale and ken of the ordinary 

 European in Ceylon. The authoress makes it her business to see and 

 become intimate luith all : hence this original and unique volume. With 

 the hand of a born artist she depicts scenes never yet brought before 

 the notice, much less the actual vision, of Europeans, for in this 

 lovely Island there are wheels rvithin ivheels, forming a complexity 

 zvhich, though a crazy patchwork, is fascinating as it is picturesque. 

 Caroline Corner secured the golden key to this unexplored labyrinth, 

 and by its magic turn opened for others the portals of this wonderful 

 Paradise of Adam.
