suitable appointment. For, the Rs. 2,000 or some such sum are as indispensable for India as the 420 for England. Too much stress cannot be laid, if you want to practise in India on your return, on the importance of studying the Indian Codes in England. These books will be available in your library. Whitley Stoke's Anglo-Indian Codes are very popular with Indian students in England. There are books published for the information and guidance of those wishing to go to England for study. They invariably give much higher estimates than those given here. It will occupy a very large space to answer them here. I can only say that they may be read side by side with this and compared. There is, however, an association doing good work for Indians that deserves notice. It is the national Indian Association. So long as it can count upon the active services of that good and philanthropic lady, Miss E. A. Manning, 35 Bloomfield Road, Maiden Hill, the Association cannot fail to do good.

Fees for entrance at one of the Inns of Court amounting to nearly 150 are not included in the above estimate. The sum of 30 is also required to meet the expenses of outfit on arrival.
So, according to the above, the expenses amount to 250 per year, i.e., 750 in three years. Add to that 150 for fees, not included in the above, as also 30 for dress, and I suppose about
