Excerpt from The Finances and Public Works of India From 1869 to 1881 This book is the joint production of my brother and myself. For many years we have taken part, often in close association, in the Government of India, and it would be a false affectation of humility to profess that this part has not been an important one. There is hardly a great office of the State, from that of Lieu tenant-governor or Member of Council downwards, which one or other of us has not held, and there is hardly a great department of the administration for the management of which, at some time, one or other of us has not been responsible. If we have not gained wisdom, we have at least had rare opportunities for obtaining knowledge and experience. We have written this book in the hope that what ever Iight we can throw on the origin and operation of the important financial measures adopted in British India, during the last ten or twelve years, may be useful to those who follow us in its government.
