Book Description

Excerpt from Lyrics and Lays The Printers have told me positively that this book cannot be published without a Preface. I beg therefore, by way of Preface, to state that these effusions of mine have been collected from the "Englishman," the "Indian Daily News" the "Indian Freemason's Friend" the "Oriental Sporting Magazine," and a scrapbook of my own. I know that some of the so-called squibs have created a smile on many a friend's face, even during the ennui of an Indian hot weather. If they do so again, I shall be well rewarded for the trouble which their collection and revision have given me.
