Excerpt from India, the Horror-Stricken Empire: Containing a Full Account of the Famine, Plague, and Earthquake of 1896-7, Including a Complete Narration of the Relief Work Through the Home and Foreign Relief Commission The chapters in the part treating on the famine have been arranged as nearly as possible to accord with the author's itinerary as given in the notes and letters placed into my hands. Had it been my aim to pander to the lovers of the sensational I might have given shocking de tails by the score. Feeling, however, that the object of the author was to teach and to enlist intelligent, active, lasting sympathy for God's poor of India, I forbore to describe the most harrowing scenes. Humbly praying that the book may serve the noble purpose for which the author and publishers are placing it before an enlightened public I leave the reader to a perusal of the work.
