LTD. 1916 TO MY GOOD FRIEND SME BOMBAY.THE HISTORIAN OF PREFACE When I was first considering the idea of writing history, I asked a learned Judge how seniorthis members of the Club would be hkely to regard the project. The reply suggested that no definite objec- tion need be feared, and in fact that, though my and betters would all think themselves capableelders history, mightof writing a much better they encour- forage and help me in a task which they themselves had neither time nor taste. I am conscious of many defects in the now accomplished work and realise the truth of my friend's prophecy. He certainly was right in thinking that I should not in vain for help.
