Paris. INSIDE PARIS DURING THE SIEGE. By an 

 OXFORD GRADUATE. Crown 8vo. js. 6d. 



This volume consists of the diary kept by a gentleman who lived in Paris 

 during the whole of its siege by the Prussians. He had many facilities for 

 coming in contact with men of all parties and of all classes, and ascertain- 

 ing the actual motives which animated them, and their real ultimate aims. 

 These facilities he took advantage of, and in his diary, day by day, care- 

 fully recorded the results of his observations, as well as faithfully but 

 graphically photographed the various incidents of the siege which came 

 under his own notice, the actual condition of the besieged, the sayings and 

 doings, the hopes and fears of the people among whom he freely moved. 

 In the Appendix is an exhaustive and elaborate account of the Organization 

 of the Republican party, sent to the author by M. Jules Andrieu ; and a 

 translation of the Manifesto of the Commune to the People of England, 

 dated April 19, 1871. " The author tells his story admirably. The 

 Oxford Graduate seems to have gone everywhere, heard what everyone had 

 to say, and so been able to give us photographs of Paris life during the 

 siege which we have not had from any other source" SPECTATOR. 

 "He has written brightly, lightly, and pleasantly, yet in perfect good 

 taste" SATURDAY REVIEW. 



Prichard. THE ADMINISTRATION OF INDIA. From 

 1859 to 1868. The First Ten Years of Administration under the 

 Crown. By ILTUDUS THOMAS PRICHARD, Barrister-at-Law. 

 Two Vols. Demy 8vo. With Map. 2U. 



In these volumes the author has aimed to supply a full, impartial, and 

 independent account of British India between 1859 and 1868 which is 

 in many respects the most important epoch in the history of that country 

 that the present centiiry has seen. " It has the great merit that it is not 

 exclusively devoted, as are too many histories, to military and political 

 details, but enters thoroughly into the more important questions of social 

 history. We find in these volumes a well-arranged and compendious 

 reference to almost all that has been done in India during the last ten 

 years ; and the most important official documents and historical pieces are 

 well selected and duly set forth" SCOTSMAN. "// is a work which 

 every Englishman in India ought to add to his library." STAfl OF 

 INDIA.
