Excerpt from Notes From a Diary
The volumes, which I now offer to the kind con sideration of my friends, record the more interesting things I heard or saw during the two years which followed my departure from Madras. As, for the first time since I was returned for the Elgin District in the year 1857, I found myself, on the 8th of December 1886, with no definite work to do, the entries in my Diary became immediately more numerous, since in it I rarely took notice of anything relating either to politics or official business, which claimed the lion's share of my time and thoughts between those two dates. These volumes contain, amongst other things, an account of two visits to Palestine, the second of which extended over a winter and spring.
