The last Plate, No. LXXVIII., "The Flight of Lakshman Sen," is an extremely able work by Mr. Surendra Nath Ganguly, illustrating an incident in the history of Bengal. The last representative of a long line of Hindu kings, after his defeat by the Pathans, seeks refuge in flight. The decrepit figure of the monarch is seen crawling down his palace stairs, at the foot of which a barge is waiting to aid him in his escape.
