Bijay Krishna Goswami," Maharshi Devendra Nath Tagore's Autobiography and Mr. Sen's lectures and sermons ; for the rest I have depended upon other sources of information and also upon my own memory.
My thanks are specially due to Babus Ramananda Chatterjee, Editor of the Modern Review, and Prithwis Chandra Ray, Editor of the Indian World for the valuable aid they have rendered in seeing the book through the press. But for the help kindly given by them, the present volume would have been marked by many more defects than what are to be found in it.
My thanks are also due to the Rajah Saheb of Pithapuram for having generously come forward to bear the printing expenses of this volume ; otherwise its publication might have been still further delayed.
The state of my health permitting, I hope to be able to conclude this history in two more volumes during the course of the next two years.
