CLODD, EDWARD.
TOM TIT TOT; or, Savage Philosophy in Folk-Tale. By Edward Clodd, President of the Folk-Lore Society. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
Dealing with a venerable Suffolk version of Grimm’s well-known “Rumpelstiltskin,” Mr. Clodd endeavours to show that the main incident in the story contains a world-wide and much-varied superstition, which, confusing persons and things, has given rise to a set of curious beliefs and customs.
WHEELER, STEPHEN.
WAR AND POLICY ON THE INDIAN BORDER. By Stephen Wheeler, Author of “The Ameer Abdur Rahman.” Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.
Mr. Wheeler’s book consists of an historical summary of the relations of the Indian Government with the tribes on the North-West and West Frontiers from Chitral to Baluchistan, with some account of the military expeditions undertaken for the maintenance of peace on the border. It also deals with the geography of the country and the ethnology of the people; with the history of the border tribes previous to the British annexation of the Punjab and Scinde, and with the political problems arising out of the recent disturbances. An endeavour is made to trace the origin and development of the Forward policy, and to form an impartial estimate of the work achieved by men of the Lawrence and Roberts schools respectively.
