Excerpt from Memories of Rugby and India

Ah, the dim remembrance prize Ere the passing hours go by, Quick, thy tablets, memory!

Though It is thirty years since my husband left India I learn with pleasure that he is not wholly forgotten in that country. May this dim remem brance serve to keep alive a short time longer the memory of one who in his day was known as the Strong man of Madras.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Memories of Rugby and India

These memories of Rugby and the East India College, and of fifty-five years spent in the public service, were recalled in quiet hours of home life or in conversations with intimate friends. It was at my request that my husband began to write them down for a younger generation to read. He did not live to complete them, but he left a certain amount of notes and material which had accumulated during his active life, and from this I have compiled a few concluding chapters, fully conscious of their shortcomings.

My thanks are due to the Dowager Countess of Lytton, the Dowager Lady Napier and Ettrick, Lady Rose Weigall, Mrs. Arthur Arbuthnot, Mrs. H. O. Arnold-Forster, Mrs. Story-Maskelyne, and Miss Feilden for permission to include passages from letters and to reproduce portraits, also to Sir Edward Bradford and Sir Charles Lawson for friendly encouragement and advice.
