A. GREAT, VICEROYA This volume, which contains a sélection from Lord Curzon's speeches delivered between 1898 and 1995. amounts in fact to a history of his Viceroyalty, told, by himself. It is, neverthe less, and probably on that account, a moderate and modest account of a strenuous and success. ful torm of office, prolonged from five years, the usual, in seven, an almost unprecedented term. There is no suggesting in these speeches, such as has too often nopeated in writing of others regarding their author, to the effect that his profecmiany were inferior in talent, indus try, and resource in binsself. Indeed, Lord Curzon is scrupulous and solicitous to give full credit in those who went before him, and to those who worked with and under him, and particularly to his colleagues, who must share. as he explains to the fullest degren, 'the' praise, and blame of arts commonly tribpted to the head of the Administration.. The Inte Viceroy has come cause to complain of the tane adopt ed by the Press during his Viceroyalty, the eulogistic character of which, though for the 'most part deserord, has certainly tended to provoke some reaction of feeling How great and governing a factor he was in his own Go vernment will be apnirent from these speeches, but his 'atement will be accepted without doubt or cavil when he save that during his seven years of office thers was not a single im- purtant question, whether of internal or extern- al politics, in which the Government of India have not been abrolutely unanimous, unless the last of all be excepied, wherein, son, the uranimity was scarcely broken. Reference is bere made to the difference with Lord Kitchen-, er, or rather in respect of the relative positions of the military and civil elements, which led ultimately to his resignation Mr. Morley's despatch potired pil'imon the troubled waters, and performed the almost impossible, by giving such satisfaction as was possibile to both parties at the stage the quarrel had reached.
There is now a general consensus of moderate and well-informed opinion to the effect that the new arrangement should have a trial, jest as all hut a soiall and unimportant, though highly anticulare, minority are agreed that an- other administrative change, one for which, and not for oppsing, which, I d Curzon is responsible, the division of Bengal, should be left undisturbed. The history of the latter measure offords an excellent illustration of the great qualities, and of their defects, for which the late Viceroy is remarkable. There was much to be said for the change, as all angre- judiced critics 'must allow, beat the manner in which it was effected gave its opponents a cage which; upon the merits, they never would have been able to bring forward Moch the same reflection occurs to the reader of the speech made at the Convoc tion of Calcutta Foiversity,
It is probable, nav, cenon, that be Chancellor and. Viceroy made the remarks he did re- garding truth, as "in its highest feals an ex- clusively Western conception," with the purest motives and the best intentions, but it is equal- ly certain that the sacred books at the indos put truth, as high as any Christian can, and, whether or not this had hern the case, nothing he could have said was more calculated to gain for him the enmity of the Hindus, already exasperated in Bengal, in the capital of which, and of India, the speech was made, by the soc called partition of the province. As a fact, of course, Eastern Bengal will have precisely the same class of administration had before the creation of the new Lieutenant-Governorship, and those who'agitte for a Governor-in-Conn. cil Constitution fur an undividet Bengal can hardly have been at the pains to ascertain the present conditions of the governments of Madras and Pombiy, wherein the Governors are absolutely powerless, if their two colleagues combine, since the abolition of the seat head by the Presidency Commander in-Chief neutralises their casting vote. Much of such unpopularity. as Lord Curzon earned was due to his insistent and incessant reforms, few of which, however, if any, can be regarded as other than neces y and beneficial. Not the least of these was his habit of taking the public iutes his confidence to the advantage, no doubi, of penpie and Gos vernment alike. His "calculation," for in-
|
stance, of the average income of a native of India at Rs.30 a head has been severely criti cised, but few of those who regard it as too high can give good grounds for putting it lower, and many of those who think it too low have not even had the elementary appreciation of the position to note that it gives a family upwards of Rs.100 a year, or £6.3%. 48., futile enough,. but sufficient for the simple waths of the cul• } tivator, who forme 8 per cent, of the population. The speeches upno the famine are luminous and valuable in the extreme, and should he read with the statement lately made by the Under Secretary of State in Parliament in answer to a question put by a labour member, which The was capable of some misconstruction. putting in force of the famine code is the prevention of famine The relief given ward off starvation in the area in which it is distributed, and the prevalence of famine is often inferred in England from the resor measures to prevent scarcity from deepening into actual want of food, Similarly the numbers

rate purpose to Anglicise the Feudatory States in todia "political agents, and particularly those appointed to States in relation with Provincial and Presidential Government, too often fall short in this respect of the professions of the Central Government, and Anglicise the States to which they are accredited, not only without reproof
from, but with the approval of the Governments to which they are subordinate.
Speeches on irrigation in like manonor show very clearly the folly of setting up twa rival schools which regard to railways and irrigation respectively as the univeral panacea, and I ord Curzon sets forth conclusively the limitations within which works of irrigation can be under
iseen the taken. Throughout the volume Parliamentarian, now Viceroy, appealing to the common sense and moderation of the public, anxious in justify himself of his works, ready to fight out any issue, and this attitude he maintains to the end. "A Prime Minister in England is strong in proportion to the Parlia mentary strength of his party, a member of Parliament
strong in his constituency in proportion to the size of his majority all India are the constituents of the Viceroy, and his strength proportionate fo their confidence." It may yet prove that his In dian constituents will deam him right in the stand he made against military emancipation
las from the civil yoke, and even those who may think him wanting to some exleat in considera tion for the feelings of others, and prone to excite hostility, which might have btes, and had better have been avoided, may none the Toy regret that his resignation came too soon to allow of the same treatment being applied in the beginning which was brought to bear upon the close of the dispute between the vil and military elements in the Government India. Perhaps the end is not yel, the mication of Lord Curton's Viceroyalty at any rate has been reached, and one who is conversant with its history will deny that it was perind of strenuous and sustained devotion public duty, of which the speeches in this
a lively, an informing, and volume are valuable record.-Pall Mall Gouette.
