PREFACE: In placing before my readers the Memoir of my Father, and his life work for the benefit of India, in its deliverance from the distarous effects of famine, as well as its increased prosperity. This early works is a fascinating insight into the Life of General Sir Arthur Cotton, containing portraits, maps and illustrations it will appeal greatly to any historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
