Présentation de l'éditeur
In introducing this life of an eminent intellectual leader of modern I ndia, there is no need for me to dwell upon particular events in his life, or upon the literary achievements which have made the name of Romesh Dutt widely known in theW est as well as in I ndia. I wish rather to call attention to certain traits which seemed to me and I had opportunities of knowing him intimately during his most mature period to mark him out as a man at once of great capacity and great character. And first of all I would mention his astonishing power of work. Romesh Dutt came from a province the climate and traditions of which are commonly supposed to discourage, in a peculiar degree, the exercise of physical and mental energy ;but there were surely few men of his time, whether Western orE astern, who laboured more continuously and to greater purpose than he. The claims of theS ervice to which he gave the best years of his life were in themselves exacting, and it might well have seemed that such strength as was left over from the discharge of official duties would have been wholly absorbed in such researches as those rendered necessary for the writing of the uH istory of Civilisation in Ancient I ndia. Yet, as the world knows, his work as aG overnment officer and as the historian of Early India formed only a part of his manifold activity.
