E. BONAVIA, M.D., Brigade-Surgeon, Indian Medical Service. 



The Cultivated Oranges and Lemons of India and Ceylon. Demy 

 8vo, with Atlas of Plates, 305. 



" The amount of labour and research that Dr Bonavia must have expended on' these 

 volumes would be very difficult to estimate, and it is to be hoped that he will be repaid, 

 to some extent at least, by the recognition of his work by those who are intereste 1 in 

 promoting the internal industries of India." Home Jfeus. 



" There can be no question that the author of this work has devoted much time and 

 trouble to the study of the Citrus family in India. That the preparation of the book 

 has been a labour of love is evident throughout its pages." The Englishman. 



F. C. DANVERS, Registrar and Superintendent of Records, 

 India Office, London. 



Report to the Secretary of State for India in Council on the Portu- 

 guese Records relating to the East Indies, contained in the 

 Archive da Torre de Tombo, and the Public Libraries at Lisbon and 

 Evora. Royal 8vo, sewed, 6s. net. 



" The whole book is full of important and interesting materials for the student 

 alike of English and of Indian history." Times. 



" It is more than time that some attention was paid to the history of the Portuguese 

 in India by Englishmen, and Mr Danvers is doing good service to India by his investi- 

 gation into the Portuguese records." India. 



" We are very grateful for it, especially with the gratitude which consists in a long- 

 ing for more favours to come. The Secretary of State spends much money on worse 

 things than continuing the efforts of which the book under review is only the first 

 result." Asiatic Quarterly Review. 



The visits of inspection into the records preserved in Portugal bearing on the 

 history of European enterprise in Eastern seas, which were authorised by the Secretary 

 of State for India in 1891 and 1892, have resulted in the production of a most interest- 

 ing report, which shows that a vast store of historical papers has been carefully pre- 

 served in that country, which deserves more thorough investigation. Mr Danvers, 

 whose devotion to the duties of the Becord Department is well known, hastened to 

 carry out his instructions, and his report fully attests the earnestness with which he 

 pursued his task. The documents range in date from 1500 to the present date, and 

 contain clusters of documents numbering 12,465 and 5,274, and 1,783 in extent, besides 

 many other deeply interesting batches of smaller bulk. It seems that no copies exist 

 of most of these documents among our own records, a fact which invests them with 

 peculiar interest 



GEORGE DOBSON. 



Russia's Railway Advance into Central Asia. Notes of a Journey 

 from St Petersburg to Samarkand, Illustrated. Crown 8vo, Js. 6d. 



" The letters themselves have been expanded and rewritten, and the work contains 

 seven additional chapters, which bring the account of the Transcaspian Provinces 

 down to the present time. Those of our readers who remember the original letters 

 will need no further commendation of our correspondent's accuracy of information 

 and graphic powers of description." Times. 



"Offers a valuable contribution to our knowledge of this region. The author 

 journeyed from St Petersburg to Samarkand by the Russian trains and steamers. 

 He wonders, as so many have wondered before, why the break in the line of railway 

 communication which is made by the Caspian Sea is allowed to continue. His book is 

 eminently impartial, and he deals with the question of trade between India and Central 

 Asia in a chapter full of the highest interest, both for the statesman and the British 

 merchant." Daily Telegraph.
