Excerpt from A Vision of India The materials on which the following pages are founded were collected, for the most part, during the progress of the Prince and Princess of Wales through the Empire of India, which I was permitted to accompany as Special Correspondent of the Standard, in the autumn and winter of 1905 and the spring of the following year. Of this interesting journey much might be written from the personal, the political, and the purely pictorial side. It is not, however, with these matters that I am chiefly con cerned. I deviated rather frequently from the route of the royal travellers, since it was my object to give some general idea of the conditions of life and society prevailing in India, rather than to furnish a circumstantial record of the tour, or to describe in detail those places of historical, antiquarian, and aesthetic interest which were included in the official itinerary. It has been my aim to reproduce something of the impression which our vast and varied dominion of the East - almost a world in itself - leaves on the mind, in its splendour and its contradictions, its colour and its mystery, its wealth and poverty, its medley of classes, creeds, and peoples: to hint at a few of the absorbing problems suggested by the contemplation of this strange and fascinating amalgam. I hope that my survey, partial and incomplete as it may be, will not mislead those who know India only from hearsay and.

Excerpt from India Old and New IT is little more than ten years since I wrote my I ndz'an Unrest. But they have been years that may well count for decades in the history of the world, and not least in the history of India. Much has happened in India to confirm many of the views which I then expressed. Much has happened also to lead me to modify others, and to recognise more clearly to-day the shortcomings of a system of government, in many ways unrivalled, but subject to the inevitable limitations of alien rule.

Excerpt from Some Contributions of South India to Indian Culture Government of Madras, has investigated this question with suflicient elaboration and has offered his conclusion that the actual date of the eclipse is June 17, a.d. 634. If this conclusion Should be acceptable without question, it will make a fundamental change in the angle of vision in regard to the literary and cultural development of South India, and therefore has to be examined with care. In this examination Ido not propose to go into the mathematical part of his work for which I have none of the qualifications that my friend has. But the data upon which he bases his conclusions seem capable of re-examination with a view to con sidering whether the avaliable data would justify his inference.

Excerpt from India and the English Of the many books that have been written about India, the greater number fall, roughly speaking, into two categories. One is that of the book which sets out frankly to be a guide to certain districts of India, with, sandwiched in, notes on shikar and, in some instances, detailed descriptions of the author's daily life. The other kind of book is a highly technical treatise upon some given aspect of Indian life - historical, social or political - written by a specialist in the one particular subject undertaken. In writing this book I have aimed at neither of these two ideals, but have instead endeavoured to present to the reader some kind of a unified picture of the many, often contradictory aspects that go to make up the Indian nation and country. For it is only by taking a broad and general view, weighing one thing against another, and looking always to the end, that one can begin to understand the cross currents of present-day India's troubled life.

Excerpt from In and Out of the Homes of India The childhood days Of Ada Jones were spent in a home Of piety in West Virginia, where She early began to read Missionary literature. She received her prim ary education in a country school and later took her College course by working her own way through College. During her first year she was powerfully convicted of sin, and surrendered to Christ, passing from a terrible sense Of Sin, Into the bright sunlight and glorious liberty of the children Of God. Soon after receiving this Apostolic type of conversion, a clear conviction came to her that She was divinely called to be a Missionary in India. She however, even after such a clear conversion, and undoubted call, had a long and hard struggle with herself before she was ready to Obey the heavenly vision. Concerning how she got the victory she writes, One day I fell down on my knees in submission to God, and said Lord I will go anywhere.' Six months later She had typhoid fever, and went nigh unto death, and one day as a cold chill passed over her, she asked an aunt, Is this death? The aunt softly answered Yes, are you afraid 2 She writes I answered, 'no, ' and then God seemed to say to me If you live, will you live for India 2' and I answered back India or heaven, whichever be thy will, Oh! My Father.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Impressions of India These impressions of a tour through India, made during the winter of 1907-8, are pre sented in no spirit of dogmatism. They are simply the record of personal observation, aided by abundant conferences with those who had the best right to pronounce an authorita tive judgment, whether amongst the native races or amongst our own countrymen. I have sought to avoid the presumption of pro nouncing judgment upon problems on which long experience alone entitles one to have definite opinions, as well as the danger of saying one word which might increase the difficulties of those responsible for Indian administration.

Excerpt from The Indian This volume might be called one of recollections, for in it have been set down many memories of Indian life. The scenes described I have witnessed with my own eyes; the stories related are those which have been told me by the Indians themselves. These stories are introduced freely because the con crete example conveys a clearer idea of an event than an abstract statement, and because the story of the Indian should not be told wholly from the point of view of a race alien in thought, feeling, and culture. No narrative about any people can do them justice if written by one who is not in some degree in sympathy with them, and acquainted with their ways of thought and with the motives which govern them. Before an intelligent account of it can be given, the stranger race must be comprehended. Long association with Indi ans enables a white man ultimately to share their thought and feelings; and he who has reached this point understands the Indian. He understands that the red man is a savage and has savage qualities, yet he sees also that the most impressive characteristic of the Indian is his humanity. For in his Simplicity, his vanity, his sensitiveness to ridicule, his desire for re venge, and his fear of the supernatural, he is a child and acts like one.

Excerpt from India, Ancient and Modern They also contain frequent reference to the political state of the country, and various other matters which excite a desire for further knowledge, but they nowhere supply it, nor give information where it may be found. A work on India suited to the people of the United States, appeared to be a desideratum, and in endeavoring to supply this want, the writer has aimed to include as much information concerning India, ancient and modern, as people generally would wish to read, and to which they could refer as often as they might have occasion. Newspapers and other journals often contain religious and political intelligence concerning India, which their readers can but imperfectly appreciate for want of more knowledge of the country and its inhabitants. And if this is so in respect to allusions, sketches, and extracts in American Journals, it is yet more so in respect to allusions, extracts, etc., contained in the English Reviews and Journals, as such articles were originally written for readers who have much more knowledge of India than the people of the United States generally have. In no country have the inhabitants retained their religion, their superstitions, and their social and local usages for so long time, and with so little change, as in India. The religion of the ancient Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans, had great influence in forming the character of those nations. But they have all passed away, and their character and religion can now only be known from their history, and from those monuments and ruins of which the present generation in those countries, know neither the origin nor the meaning. But in India, the religious system which existed in the time of the Pharaohs, of Nebuchadnezzar, of Cyrus, of Solon, and of Romulus, still continues, and its influence is seen in the present state and character of the inhabitants.
