Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Rai Durgagati Banerjea Bahadur, Cle Sometime Collector of Calcutta Since the death of my late lamented grand-father in March 1903, the thought of bringing out his life has been uppermost in my mind, but want of sufficient leisure hitherto prevented me from carrying out my intention. In publishing now this short memoir I have not been actuated by any feeling of ambition as a writer, for I do not pretend to possess any capacity as such, but solely by a desire to preserve his memory, and to show in a subsidiary way, how an Indian could by dint of sheer merit, raise himself to a unique position in official and public life, and earn honors and distinctions. I have also been moved by a strong desire to compile and publish, more or less in a systematic form, the large number of letters he had the good fortune to receive from his different official superiors and friends - letters, which, I venture to say, are very rare to find in these days of "Sun-dried bureaucracy," breathing, as they do, a sincere and deep feeling of friendship, regard and esteem. I have however, for obvious reasons, been debarred from utilising the whole of the immense heap of his correspondence, for some of it is of a private or confidential character, and I had to leave out letters or portions of letters, which bore the least trace of such a character. But I hope that the amount of correspondence published is sufficiently comprehensive to serve its purpose, the book being more a compilation than, anything else.
