Excerpt from India and Its Problems
Dear Sir Alexander,
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 India, you held the important office 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 the Madras Government in the Departments of which you then had immediate charge as a Member of Council. Ill-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 the Empire the benefit of your extensive experience and sound statesmanship as a Member of the Viceregal Council. But while our paths in life thus diverged, our friendship continued unbroken and undimmed.
