APPENDIX 



ID delivering the lectures published in this volume it 

 was not practicable to refer to the various books and docu- 

 ments which I had selected. It seems desirable, however, 

 that I should indicate briefly the literature on which I have

 have relied more especially. Books relating to England 

 and foreign countries are given in the first list. They are 

 all available for reference in the Library of the University 

 of Allahabad ; and all the modern books can easily be 

 purchased from England through a bookseller. In the 

 second list I mention writings relating to India, and more 

 particularly to the United Provinces, which have a bearing 

 on the subject of my lectures.

 improvements. Judicial machinery was provided for deter-

 time introduced the principle of definitely recognizing fixity 

 of tenure and the determination of a fair rent by the county
