Excerpt from SpeechesNo apology, it seems to me, is necessary for this publi cation. Mr. George Yule's name has )become a household word in New India'i He has lived in this country for many years, and has, by reason of his high position in life and in society, exceptional opportunities of taking a comprehensive view of the wants and shortcomings of the administration of India by its English rulers. These opportunities he has studiously utilized. Strong in him self, and imbued with that sturdy 3spirit of independence which so pre-eminently distinguishes the character of a true Briton, he has been accustomed to apply himself to the study of an important question, without fear or favour, and to give expression to his own convictions in respect thereof in burning words of earnestness, free from all manner of vulgar prejudice. He is not a casual orbsup'erficial obsor'ver, but sifts every matter that comes uridéi, his observation to the bottom, with a view to separate the wheat from the tares. The utterances of 33 such a man must needs be treasured up in the recollec tion of those among whom he has lived and worked'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
