vi EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION

way for the important chapter which brings the history down from the time of the Mutiny to the Durbar of King Edward, as well as for the concluding chapter on Britain's wider dominion in Asia. The illustrative matter has been drawn from varied sources, and I am grateful for permission to reproduce one or two somewhat rare pictures. The ready collabo- ration of the author and the courtesy of his publisher in helping to make this volume a complete outline of India's later history down to the present time, is cor- dially appreciated.
