PREFACE.

The work of editing these Journals is at an end; itonly remains now for me to thank one of my oldestand most valued friends, whose assistance in everyway I wish most thoroughly to acknowledge: this isMr. Godfrey Thrupp. When it became obvious thatthe public demand for the work made its completionin so short a time impossible—as the conscientiousachievement of one man—he generously came forward.His knowledge of the East and his deepinterest in the subject made him an invaluablecolleague.

A. Egmont Hake.
