Caste in India: The Facts and the System c3.1

c3.1

I N making the present translation, for which I assume full responsibility, I have received much help from Miss Ivy Clegg and Miss Elizabeth Symes, and this I am anxious to acknowledge. Much of the arduous spadework has been done by these ladies, but such are the difficulties to be met with in almost every page of this work, due to M. Senart's peculiarities of style and his close reasoning, that in a great number of cases the literal rendering had often to be discarded in favour of a paraphrase. I only trust that in the process of attempting to make this important work intelligible to the English reader no single point made by its learned author has been missed.
