✦ Synopsis

we read: "It is sad to reflect that there has been no material change of policy of the British government during the last fifty years; any change that has occurred is only a changefor the worse as evidenced by the New Constitution.

The problems-social and economic-which were acute then have become acuter still." Miscellaneous chapters discuss subjects as unrelated as law and its administration, expensive habits of university students, drain of the wealth of the land due to European standards of living, scientific specialization and narrow outlook, old age and how to battle against it, the r81e of accident in science, national industries, contrasts between oriental and occidental viewpoints on business and many other subjects of interest by no means limited to India.

Few men of such diverse accomplishments and broad interests have succeeded in presenting their mature philosophy to the world at large.

The completion of Volume II of these experiences must be a source of immense personal gratification, the culmination of a worthy life.
