Abstract
WE have heard a great deal lately about the native rulers of India, and the worst features of one of them have been brought very prominently before us; but it is a pleasing reflection that they are not all like the potentate of Baroda, while some of them might even read a lesson to the paramount power. Let us hear what Mr. J. Allan Broun, a magnetician of great eminence, has to say of the late ruler of Travancore.
Observations of Magnetic Declination made at Trevandrum and Agustia Malley in the Observatories of his Highness the Maharajah of Travancore, G.C.S.I., in the Years 1852 to 1869.
Vol. i. Discussed and edited by John Allan Broun, late Director of the Observatories. (London: Henry S. King and Co.)
