Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Agra The favourable reception which the first edition of this little book has met with encourages me to bring out a revised and amplified edition which, I hope, will be found less unworthy of the perusal of the literary world than the first one. I am sorry I could not succeed further in unearthing facts connected with the Agra Catholic Mission, which lie buried deep be low the sods of antiquity, apparently destined never to see light again, and so the information respecting that institution which these pages contain is anything but exhaustive. The records of the Archdiocese of Agra, including the Fz'rmam of several of the Emperors of Delhi, suffered much during the disastrous Indian Mutiny of 1857-58, and the few fragments which have survived the catastrophe contain very little historical matter. Nevertheless I am extremely obliged to his Grace Mgr. Emmanuel Van den Bosch, the Archbishop of Agra, for his courtesy in supplying me with as much data as he could lay his hands upon.
