Excerpt from Some Economic Aspects of British Rule in India I do not forget that there are worthy exceptions to the generality of our public men, like Mr. Dadabhai N aorop, who for a long time stood alone among educated Indians as a student and expounder of Indian economics. The late Mr. M. G. Ranade has also left valuable records of his views on the same. And latterly M r. R. C. Dutt, by his Economic History of India' and other writings, has placed the Indian people under obligation. I may mention Mr. I). E.wacha, and the Hon: M r. G. K. Go'khale among other Indians who hate thrown light on' economic and fiscal questions by their various public utterances and writings. Still, in my humble opinion, these questions should be more generally studied by our politicians and journalists than is the case at present and their Views should be more largely diffused among the classes that take an interest in public affairs. In the following pages I endeavour to make a small contri hutien towards this end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Economics of British India First edition (143 pp.), March, 1909. Second edition (304 pp.), March, 1911. Third edition (336 pp.), March, 1913. Four edition (384 pp.), April, 1917. In this edition the book has been thoroughly revised, the statistics brought up to date, and a chapter on the economic effects of the war on India added. So rapid is the economic transformation of India going on before our eyes and so fast is the literature on various aspects of it growing up, that a general account of the subject requires to be mostly re-written every six years, and not only have new facts to be noted but even the old conclusions have to be greatly modified in the light of the new facts. Such a restudy has been attempted in the present edition. Throughout the book I have taken 1913-14, the last year of peace, as the standard of comparison and the basis of study. But the changes effected by the war have been duly noted in various places and studied together in the last chapter (X), which is altogether new; and the statistics of 1917 as far as available have been supplied. Among the more important additions are the inquiry into High Prices, the Report of the Royal Commission on Indian Currency (1914), recent developments of co-operation and our war finance and traffic changes.

Excerpt from The Economic History of India: Under Early British Rule; From the Rise of the British Power in 1757 to the Accession of Queen Victoria in 1837 Excellent works on the military and political trausse tions of the British in India have been written by eminent historians. N 0 history of the people of India, of their trades, industries, and agriculture, and of their economic condition under British administration, has yet been compiled. Recent famines in India have attracted attention to this very important subject, and there is a general and widespread desire to understand the condition of the Indian people - the sources of their wealth and the causes of their poverty. A brief Economic History of British India is therefore needed at the present time. Englishmen can look back on their work in India, if not with unalloyed satisfaction, at least with some legitimate pride. They have conferred on the people of India what is the greatest human blessing - Peace. They have introduced Western Education, bringing an ancient and civilised nation in touch with modern thought, modern sciences, modern institutions and life. They have built up an Administration which, though it requires reform with the progress of the times, is yet strong and efficacious. They have framed wise laws, and have established Courts of Justice, the purity of which is as absolute as in any country on the face of the earth. These are results which no honest critic of British work in India regards without high admiration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
