Abstract
THE second volume of Sir P. C. Ray's “Life and Experiences” is concerned chiefly with economics and politics and very little with chemistry. The author calls it “a compendium of India under British rule”; but this description is rather too comprehensive. The book is written by a Bengali who loves Bengal and has devoted his life to its welfare. To him, the rest of India is an incident, sometimes even an encumbrance. Other patriotic Indians hold similar views regarding their particular province or State, and the reader may thus readily realize some of the difficulties which confront the Central Government and the reasons for the establishment of provincial autonomy.
