THIS is a very singular story indeed. The psychological tendency which has proved successful in two or three works of late is only one element of many which are out of the common. The plot passes in India, and, besides quite a novel picture of European society in this comparatively neglected field, there are incidents of native life which one would imagine even a Zola of the Hindoos would himself find sufficiently fresh to be startling. It is indeed a curious combination, this story of a young man imbued with missionary zeal to the point almost of mono mania, placed among people and events in whose presence the personages and incidents of the Tales of the Genii would almost cease to appear extravagant.
