“ These Lectures carry an the good work begun by Sir Henry Maine in his volumes on 
* Ancient Law’ and ‘Village Communities in the East and West’ The present edition 
throws fresh light on that branch of historical study which deals with the origin of hwnan 
laws, and their earlier developments in different countries. It is needless to say that every 
page gives evidence of the authors se ah reading, his skill in detecting the true points of 
analogy, and the unerring judgment wherewith he draws his conclusions; while the value 
of the book is not a little enhanced by a pure and lucid style which carries the reader pleasantly 
over the roughest ground.” —INDIAN MAIL. ;

“A country where the scenery is lovely beyond description, where the climate is perfect, 
where there are the biggest voleanoes in the world, where earthquakes are matters of ordinary 
occurrence, where men and women ride about crowned with garlands of flowers, where the 
natives are so gentle and so trustworthy that a lady can make expeditions for days together in 
perfect safety, is a country which is worth describing, and certainly worth reading about 
when described so brightly, so vividly, and so picturesquely as Miss Bird describes it. We 
do not know when we have read a book of travels which has so fascinated us.’?—STANDARD.
