HIS HIGHNESS
VIBHAJEE, JAM SAHIB OF NAWANAGAR.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HIGHNESS,
I received a most encouraging welcome from your Highness during my travels in Kattywar. It was in your Highness's territory that the idea first suggested itself to me of translating these incomparable Lectures of Professor Max Müller. I am now reminded of this and of your Highness's desire to see the work taken in hand. Your Highness is accustomed to read such works and to have them read. Such studies are likely to prove congenial to your Highness just now owing to separation from your venerable Mother and such other causes.
Therefore, I beg your Highness to sanctify my labours by accepting this little work dedicated to you. May God restore you to peace and realise your generous expectations ! May the extent of your people's prosperity be ever increasing under the protection of the universal sway of the QueenEmpress and the endeavours of an enlightened ministry.
THE PUBLISHER.
