Indian Finance Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Recent Indian Finance This brochure owes its origin to the request made to me by my friend Mr. N atesan of Madras to reprint in their present form the letters on Indian Finance which, thanks to the courtesy of {its accomplished Editor, I had lately contributed 'to the columns of the Times of India. In com plying with his request I have embraced the opportunity to preface the letters by an article which I contributed to the Indian Review on the subject of Indian Financial Reform and by a few supplementary observations called for by the speech which Mr. Montagu, the Under Secretary of State for India, made in the House of Com mons on 26th July last. These papers will inform those who take an interest in the finances of the Empire how imperative is the necessity for effectually checking and controlling expenditure which for some years past has been allowed to overrun the normal revenue at a pace which is positively disquieting, if not alarming.
