They are arranged under various headings, in chronological order, and passages relating more particularly to those headings have been transferred from speeches dealing with a multiplicity Of topics where they might otherwise have been overlaid.

Excerpt from Lord Curzon in India: Being a Selection From His Speeches as Viceroy Governor-General of India, 1898-1905
This volume contains a selection from the speeches on India and Indian subjects that were delivered by Lord Curzon from the time that he was first appointed to be Viceroy and Governor-General in August 1898, until his return to England from his second term of office in December 1905. The number of speeches actually made by him during this period amounted to over two hundred and fifty, for in India the Viceroy is, by long custom, almost the solitary speechmaker of the Administration; and it is clear, therefore, that a selection of less than sixty of these must leave large groups of subjects untouched.
In choosing, an attempt has been made to subserve the general object of this book, which is to provide a key to the problems of modem Indian government, as well as a synopsis of Lord Curzon's administration; and accordingly speeches or parts of speeches relating to subjects of local or ephemeral interest have been omitted, and attention has been invited in preference to those utterances that explain the principles by which the Government of India is actuated in approaching its stupendous task, and the concrete manner in which, in Lord Curzon's time, it endeavoured to carry them into execution.
