This article critically analyses T. J. Wheeler's book "A Short History of India and of the Frontier States of Afghanistan, Nepal, and Burma." The one permanent and indisputable effect of English government in the East has been the establishment of the rule of law. The great achievement and true monument of British power has been the enforcing throughout the length and breadth of the land of the peaceful British empire. Wheeler brings into marked relief the little realized fictions in which the eastern government seems to be wrapped and by which it is weakened.
