Excerpt from Industrial India
When this little book first appeared, one of the reviewers supplemented appreciative remarks with the suggestion that the book would have been more useful for industrialists if it had given more definite information on the subject of Indian industries. In reply, the author would remark that the volume was in no way intended as a handbook of Indian industries, useful for industrialists, but as an appeal to Indians generally to interest themselves in the industrial affairs of their country. The author likes to think that bis appeal may in some degree have accounted for the very great interest in industrial affairs with which the appearance of the book was followed. In his opinion the introduction of technical matter and of statistical tables would have tended to repel the class of readers for whom the book was specially intended, and in this new edition, accordingly, no tables or technicalities have been supplied.
