The Book Affairs of the East India Company in 3 volumes is a monumental work and the standard authority on land tenures and judicial and police systems of British India. It is a faithful and unexpurgated verbatim reprint of the original report. Vol. I contains an historical introduction and biographical and topographical notes to the Fifth Report from the Select Committee of the House of Commons. Vol. II and III contain elaborate indices and the Glossary (in Bengali, Persian and Kaithi with English equivalents) respectively. This is a most interesting and valuable reference book and will be of interest to the students of history, libraries and historical institutions.
