“The Russo-Indian, or Central Asian question has for several obvious reasons been attracting much public attention in England, in Russia, and also on the Continent, within the last year or two....  I have thought that the present volume, giving a short sketch of the history of this question from its earliest origin, and condensing much of the most recent and interesting information on the subject, and on its collateral phases, might perhaps be acceptable to those who take an interest in it.”—­Author’s Preface.

“In this book we are not spared one fact of the sad story; but our feelings are not harrowed by the recital of imaginary outrages.  It is good for us at home that we have one who tells his tale so well as does Mr. Trevelyan.”—­Pall Mall Gazette.

THE COMPETITION WALLAH.  New Edition.  Crown 8vo, 6s.

“The earlier letters are especially interesting for their racy
descriptions of European life in India.....  Those that follow are of more
serious import, seeking to tell the truth about the Hindoo character and
English influences, good and bad, upon it, as well as to suggest some
better course of treatment than that hitherto adopted.”—­Examiner.
