To Sir ALEXANDER JOHN ARBUTHNOT, K.C.S.I. Dear Sir A lexander, In dedicating this book to you, with your kind permission, I desire to acknowledge a great debt of gratitude, accumulated through many years. When I went out to I ndia, you held the important oiE ce of Chief Secretary to the Government of Madras, and it was my good fortune to be brought by common friends under your direct notice. Your encouraging kindness greatly assisted me during my brief Indian career, and was especially manifested when I acted as Under Secretary to theM adras Government in theD epartments of which you then had immediate charge as aM ember of CouncU. I ll-health compelled me to leave a country in which I was absorbingly interested, and a service to which I was deeply attached. You remained to administer, for a time, the Government of Madras, and then to give theE mpire the benefit of your extensive experience and sound statesmanship as aM ember of the Viceregal Council. But while our paths in life thus diverged, our friendship continued unbroken and undimmed.
