Abstract
The limits of this review of books about India were defined by the material which was made available. The, problem of selection, which would have been serious was thus eliminated. There remained only the question of the plan which should be followed in order to produce the best results with the greatest economy of space and time. After much consideration and perplexity it seemed best to concentrate attention on three works which had special claims both on account of their size and because they represented distinct types of approach to the subject which we comprehensively denote by the word India. Accordingly, the survey begins with the work of Mr Shridharani continues with the volumes by W. R. Smith and the co-operating authors of Modern India and the West, and concludes by directing attention to a group of publications which could only be treated in a more summary manner. If the order of treatment or proportion of emphasis is open to criticism, these remarks may serve to explain and justify the procedure adopted.
