Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of the Right Hon. Sir Alfred Comyn Lyall This Memoir has been undertaken at the request of Lady Lyall and Sir Alfred Lyall´s family, who have placed at my disposal his diaries and papers. In preparing it I have avoided almost entirely the use of official documents. Though Sir Alfred Lyall was an official for nearly fifty years, and wrote many valuable State papers, it has seemed to me that his life, character, and views could be sufficiently, and best, illustrated by means of his private letters and literary works. State papers, especially papers on Indian questions, even if they can properly be published, are not attractive to the majority of readers; and any attempt to publish such papers would have involved writing this book upon an unduly large scale. The spelling of Indian names and words is always a difficulty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
