DEDICATION, 



CHICULDA, EAST BERAR, \^th May 1870, 



MY DEAR SIR ARTHUR, 



When these notes were commenced I did not intend that 

 their author's name should be known, it is better however 

 that their imperfections should be owned. 



You know me so well that, bad as the book is, you will, I 

 trust, permit it to be dedicated to you as a token of hearty 

 friendship from 



Yours very sincerely, 



A. C. McMASTER. 

 To 



SIR ARTHUR P, PHAYRE, C.B. & K.C.S.I.
