Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speeches and Writings of Sir William Wedderburn It is with feelings of inexpressible sorrow that I attempt to pen this little note. About the middle of November 1916, I wrote to Sir William Wedderburn requesting him to accord permission to me to bring out a volume of his Speeches and Writings. He was good enough to comply with my request and also to help me in the selection of the matter. But for the exigencies of business this volume should have been out by the end of last year, as originally announced, and it is to me nothing short of a misfortune that I have been denied the privilege of presenting him with a copy of this book. In my letter to Sir William regarding the selection of matter for his speeches and writings, I suggested among other things, the need for giving prominence to his many contributions on the condition of the Indian raiyat, as I knew from personal conversations and correspondence, which it was my inestimable privilege to have with him, how deeply interested he was in the improvement of the economic condition of the Indian raiyats. It is sad to recall the following extract from his letter dated the 7th January, 1917: - I am very glad that you will give prominence to the Famine Union and the proposed Enquiry into the economic condition of the villages, as the woes of the Indian raiyat have been from the very beginning the stimulus which has kept me tied to the labouring oar of Indian Reform.
