Description

Excerpt from The Charm of Bombay: An Anthology of Writings in Praise of the First City in IndiaFinally, I cannot close without expressing my sense of the great courtesy shown by H. E. Lord Willingdon in writing the Foreword to this book. I take it as his contribution to the antho logy and my readers also, I am sure, will be glad to have in addition to the commendations of some of his illustrious predecessors contained in the present volume, His Excellency's appreciation of our city which he very happily calls one of the fairest jewels of the Empire's crown.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
