book of this kind, Peace and Happiness, was from 

 a Gujerati translator. A little later his publishers 

 wrote to him : 



St. Martin's Street, London, W.C, 

 24,th November 1909. 



My Lord — We forward herewith an interleaved 

 copy of your book On Peace and Happiness which our 

 Indian correspondent, Mr. E. Marsden, about whom 

 we wrote to you, has gone through with a view to 

 preparing, as you kindly agreed that he should, an 

 edition of the book for use in High Schools and for 

 candidates for Matriculation at the Indian Universities. 



Mr. Marsden has a great experience of the needs 

 and capacities of Indian boys, and we feel little doubt 

 that he has had good reason for the omissions which 

 he suggests. If you approve of what he has done 

 kindly return the copy, so that we may have the revised 

 book put into type. — We are, your Lordship's obedient 

 servants, Macmillan & Co., Ltd. 



This chapter may be brought to a close with a 

 curious and appreciative letter from the editor 

 of a Japanese magazine. 



The Right Hon. Lord Avebury, 

 High Elms, Famboro, R.S.O., 

 Kent, England. 



Tokyo, Japan, 

 March 25th, 1909. 



Dear Sir — Your most cordial letter, together with 

 the valuable advice to the young people of our country, 

 and a fairly represented likeness of yourself, has been 

 received in good condition. And for these I beg leave 

 to do myself the justice to open the present letter with 

 a few words of my heartfelt thanks for your kindness. 

 Indeed, I do not know what words would be adequate 

 to express my gratitude for your sympathetic endeavour. 

 When I look again and again at your likeness while 

 reading your famous and suggestive works, I feel just 

 as if I were listening to your lecture before your presence. 

 Nothing has given me more pleasure than this. As 

 soon as I received your letter and written advice, I 

 published them in the latest number of our magazine.
