Excerpt from A Tour Through the Famine District of India This book to any one expecting a mere collection of the horrors of the Indian Famine will be a bitter dis appointment. Our great Eastern dependency is passing through a crisis which has been death-dealing and far reaching in its effect upon the suffering millions of Ind. The author has, as far as possible, merely hinted at the awful and gruesome sights and scenes which it was his lot to witness, and which certainly any word painting of his would fail to accurately portray. He has relied upon a series of photographs taken upon the spot, to bring forcibly before the mind's eye of his readers, if any, the state and condition of the oriental races who owe their allegiance to the queen-empress. This volume is the mere journalistic record of a man who travelled through the length and breadth of the Famine Districts of India; in which he has endeavoured to depict, with perhaps too light a brush, the various scenes that came under his personal observation. He has gathered up from various and numerous sources a mass of information - useful or otherwise - and this he now, with all diffidence, puts into the hands of the public. It has been too the object of the writer to relegate, as far as lay in his power, the dry-as-dust statistics, which are the natural outcome of such an enormous undertaking as the Famine Relief of India.
