Athenicum.— "Of all the summaries of Indian history published<br />

i<br />

this<br />

century, there are few indeed which for fulness, accuracy, clear exposition, painstaking<br />

research, and impartial handling of obscure and complicated themes can<br />

compete, we think, with Mr Keene's scholarly work. . . . He has succeeded in<br />

imparting an air of freshness and originality, by means of long, careful, and<br />

intelligent stud}-, aided by the wealth of his official experiences and the easy<br />

skill of one versed in the art of exposition and expression. He is at home alike<br />

in the earlier and the later period, in the highways and the byways of Indian<br />

history."<br />

Tunes.— " Mr Keene has the admirable element of fairness in dealing with<br />

the succession of great questions that pass over his pages, and he wisely devotes<br />

a full half of his work to the present century. A fair-minded presentment of<br />

Indian history like that contained in Mr Keene's two volumes is at this moment<br />

peculiarly welcome."<br />
