My chief debt is to the Professor Of Public Administration for his interest in this study and for the great help which I have derived from his extensive knowledge of the ideas and machinery of Local Government. My next obligation is to the Librarian Of the India Office and his staff for the abundant facilities which they gave me for access to books and records, and for their kindness and courtesy during the two years I worked there. Among those who have been good enough to help me with suggestions and criticism, I must mention especially Mr. S. C. Hill, late Superintendent Of the Imperial Records Office, Calcutta; Mr. R. W. Frazer, Lecturer in Dravidian Languages at the Imperial Institute; and Mr. J. S. Cotton, Editor Of the Imperial Gazetteer of India. On village administra tion in North India, Of which my knowledge is to a large extent second-hand, I have had the advantage Of some talks with Sir James Wilson and Sir J. M. Douie, which have been distinctly illuminating. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
