Excerpt from Reminiscences of Life and Sport in Southern India
It may seem presumption in one whose acquaintance with India and its people only extended over a limited portion, and that chiefly in the South, to come forward as an author, when so many more gifted persons have written and are writing on subjects connected with the governing and governed classes. The younger Pliny in one of his letters quotes the dictum of his uncle, the naturalist, that no book was so bad, but that profit might be derived from some part of it. I take courage from this truism, and even if, as is most probable, the worthless far exceeds the good, yet I must throw myself on the clemency of my readers, and submit to the consequences.
