Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Fly on the Wheel: Or How I Helped to Govern India
I can only add here that the book was entirely written from diaries, kept carefully for my home-folk, and that if there are mistakes or misconceptions I cannot alter them now. Such as they are recorded here, so they were real and true to the young fellow who wrote them down long, long ago, with no views as to publication. The old fellow who now reads the book over for the last time feels that he cannot touch this fresh young work without marring it: they are the vivid impressions of his youth.
N aught feared this body of wind or weather When youth and I dwelt in't together.
