Abstract
IN the classification of the subject matter of “The History of Civilisation” Series, Prof. Macleod's book on the Indian frontier falls into the section entitled “Historical Ethnology,” being the fourth to be so included. That such a section should prove of great utility there is no question, though this is perhaps not the occasion to discuss whether the three volumes previously included conform strictly to its requirements; but there can be no two opinions as to the suitability for inclusion of Prof. Macleod's book. He surveys frontier relations between European and Indian from the Indian side of that border line, stressing the institutional changes from precedent conditions which have been brought about by contact and ending with an analysis of conditions as they are to-day.
