Excerpt from The Songs of Ind
The short series of Indian Poems which compose the first part of this little Volume, are reprinted from the Allahabad "Pioneer," with the exception of one, "The Prizes and Dispossessed Zemindar," which appeared in the "Delhi Gazette."
The stereotyped "request of friends" is wanting as an excuse for their publication; but I can say with truth, that I was only induced to think of publishing them in this form, from the great number of applications which I received from total strangers in all parts of India for copies of the Verses either in print or MS.
The other Poems in the collection are selections from the best of considerable number which appeared at intervals in various Indian and English publications, and were favorably received at the time.
