"Hindupore" reveals many of the deep most things of India hidden from Englishmen, even those who may have passed away half their lives in that country - a country in which historical (pagan Egypt, Chaldea, Assyria, Babylonia, Greece, and Rome) as distinguished from pre-historical antiquity still survives. The chapters on "Pan-Hinduism," "Irish Signs and Hindu Signs," and "Hindu-Japanese Affinity," are instructive and most suggestive; and, apart from the attractions "Hindupore" may have for the readers of romances, it has a political value in this momentary crisis in the affairs of India; for only the imbecilities inherent in our system of Government by party are artificially protracting a situation that to the ignorant alone seems so sinistrous.
