The French School of the Far East has recently published under the above title an important study in comparative law, the conclusions of which go far beyond the juridical framework to which its tide and the author's background would appear to assign it. For this reason, it seemed necessary to call the work to the attention of readers of this journal, especially those who are interested in the problems of the relationships between the original indigenous infrastructure and the Indian and Chinese superstructures in South East Asia.
