corresponding to Chapters 21 and 22 of the edition of 1893 and Chapters 76, 77 of this (1915) edition. Most of the observations in the Introduction are utilized in various places in that work. The author's remark in the Introduction to these essays--'They may never be published, but I cannot deny myself the gratification of printing them'--indicates that, though printed, they were never published in their separate form. The copy of the separately printed tract which I have seen is that in the India Office Library. Another is in the British Museum. The pamphlet is not in the Bodleian.] (10.) 1841 Pamphlet.

No contributions by the author of later date than the above to any periodical have been traced. In a letter dated Lucknow, 12th January, 1853 (_Journey,_ vol. 2, p. 390) the author says-'I was asked by Dr. Duff, the editor of the _Calcutta Review,_ before he went home, to write some articles for that journal to expose the fallacies, and to counteract the influences of this [_scil_. annexationist] school; but I have for many years ceased to contribute to the periodical papers, and have felt bound by my position not to write for them.'] (11.)
