Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir and Correspondence of General James Stuart Fraser of the Madras Army During my father's lifetime, I published a historical sketch of the Hyderabad State, under the title of Our Faiflzful Ally the Nizam.1 In the Preface to that book I mentioned that I was not then at liberty to use docu ments in my possession throwing much light on our poli tical relations with Hyderabad. And particularly on that very important measure, the assignment of the Berar Provinces, but that at some future time that restriction would probably be removed. I was not then so fully informed as I am now, from the private correspondence between them, how widely the views of Lord Dalhousie and General Fraser diverged} nor did I then understand how much my lamented father's name had come to be identified, very inaccurately and unfairly, as a result or the oficially published misrepresentation which I shall have to correct, with the assignment or sequestration of the Nizam's Berar Provinces. The restriction as to the publication of my father's papers has now been finally removed by his demise, and I am unwilling any longer to incur the responsibility of withholding from English statesmen and the public generally the exclusive and otherwise unattainable and private information contained in this book, and which, I may add, I have refused, very much against my own interests, to plate at the discretion and disposal of parties in England for publication.
