Excerpt from Notes on Indian Affairs, Vol. 1 of 2 The facts and opinions contained in the following Papers are the result of more than fifteen years' actual residence in India, chiefly in the North-western Provinces of the Bengal Presidency; during which period, I have held various situations in the Police, Revenue, and Judicial departments, and have been in habits of close communi cation, both private and official, with the people of the country of all classes. They were first published anony mously, under the signature of A friend TO india, in the India, Gazette, one of the Calcutta daily papers; and having attracted some attention, and, I hope, been instrumental in effecting some little change in public feeling on the subjects which they embrace, I am induced to republish them in England. In so doing, I must entreat the indulgence of my readers for the imperfections of style and language, and the frequent repetitions with which they abound. They were written in the midst of heavy official occupation, which scarcely afforded me leisure even to correct the rough copy; and the same cause-still operates to prevent a more careful revision at the present moment.
