INDIA AND ITS NATIVE PRINCES: Travels in Central India, and in the
Presidencies of Bombay and Bengal. Dedicated by express permission to H.R.H.
the Prince of Wales. By LOUIS ROUSSELET. Carefully Revised and Edited by
Lieut. -Colonel C. BUCKLE, and containing 316 Illustrations and 6 Maps.

From the "TIMES," October 7, 1875.

"Nothing can be clearer than M. Rousselet's description of the countries and people he visited during these five years, and we seem ourselves to be living among them, as they pass in his vivid pages in stately splendour under our eyes. The book is superbly illustrated also, and with remarkable accuracy, for every face in it is a likeness which any Anglo-Indian will at once recognise. We might quote many

striking extracts from M. Rousselet's work for the entertainment of our readers; but we have said enough to justify us in recommending it warmly to their notice. In the magnificent collection of books which the Prince of Wales has selected for presents to the princes, chiefs, and other distinguished natives of India, are fifty copies of this work. His Royal Highness's tour will closely follow M. Rousselet's route, and, no doubt, will be followed in his volume by many in anticipation and often again in illustration, of the Royal progress.'
