tegically, and Politically considered. By Capt. _Trench_, F.R.G.S. With a Sketch of Central Asiatic Politics and Map of Central Asia. Crown 8vo. _7_s_. 6d_. "_The Russo-Indian, or Central Asian question has for several obvious reasons been attracting much public attention in England, in Russia, and also on the Continent, within the last year or two.... I have thought that the present volume, giving a short sketch of the history of this question from its earliest origin, and condensing much of the most recent and interesting information on the subject, and on its collateral phases, might perhaps be acceptable to those who take an interest in it_."--_Author's Preface_.
