Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Indian Products: Art-Manufactures and Raw Materials Tun Hon' ble Colonel S. T. Trevor, bje vice-president of the Calcutta International Exhibition, while inspecting my col lection of Indian Raw Produce, expressed a wish that a short description of the articles should be placed within the reach of the visitors at the above Exhibition. This little work is the result of that wish. In the course of my official work, I have often had occasion to find that the general public greatly feel the want of a Hand-book of information relating to the products of India as a whole, a sort of index to the many valuable works contributed by eminent authors, but most of which relate to a particular portion of the country or a particular branch of the subject. The labours of Roxburgh, Balfour, Hooker, Drury, Boyle, Brandis, Gamble, Stewart, Birdwood, baden-powell, Bidie, Kipling, Murray, Watson, Hunter, Atkinson, Liotard, Kanny Loll Dey, Udai Chand Dutt and many other well-known experts on Indian manufactures and raw products have done much towards informing the European nations about the developed and undeveloped resources of India, but, as I have just remarked, the valuable information collected by these able writers either relates to particular branches of the subject, or is mixed up with geographical, historical and other matters, or is contained in works too voluminous to form a key for casual enquirers, rapid tourists or busy merchants. In the latter part of the last year, therefore, I made an attempt to supply this want, and brought out a Rough List of Indian Art-ware, which was so well received by the public that a second edition of it was required within three months after the first edition was published In the beginning of the present year I took up the economic produce, and commenced a dictionary of raw materials, u.
