Book Description

A clean sound copy of the scarce First Edition in a bespoke (Home-made) dustwrapper concealing the stained original publishers cloth. Signatures of three previous owners to endpaper [one in Calcutta] and neat stamp to title page of the Oriental Seminar at the University of Bern. " This book has been long suppressed. To friends who urged that its publication would stir up bitter feelings I point out that the deeds of which it speaks were done, and men's minds securely hold the smouldering memory. Other friends, among them some of the most honoured in contemporary literature, have urged that the risk be taken "Truth has an eternal title to our confession though we are sure to be the sufferers by it " The book sets out matters that no Indian could, or perhaps should set out and I believe that it will change the attitude of every Englishman who reads it to the end."
