LADD, GEORGE TRUMBULL. Intimate glimpses of life in India; a narrative of observations in the winter of 1899–1900. il *$3 Badger, R. G. 915.4

“In his observations of Indian life Professor Ladd was chiefly concerned with educational, social and religious conditions. For the study of these he had unusual opportunities. This book gives a summary of what he learned from personal interviews with the viceroy and secretary of education in Calcutta, with natives and missionaries, and with Hindu philosophers. Professor Ladd also describes the social customs of the people and outlines some of the political reforms that are demanded by the native leaders.”—R of Rs
“Although the book makes no contribution to the literature regarding India, it is interesting as reflecting the impressions of an American professor concerning the practices and cults of the Indian peoples.”
