Excerpt from A Parson's Holiday: Being an Account of a Tour in India, Burma, and Ceylon, in the Winter of 1882-83 I feel that an apology is necessary for adding to the numerous works which have been already written by the chance travellers who have wintered in India. My defence is that, although these works have been full of varied interest, yet none of them have treated the subject quite from my standpoint. The Parson who travels looks at things with a professional eye, and the observations he makes have an interest of their own, especially for his brother-clergymen. A greater apology is necessary to those Indian officials, or residents, or missionaries, who may look into this little work. I will beg them to remember that I cannot hope to have escaped all errors, and that I have probably uttered many crude and ill considered remarks. They will have patience with one who does not set up for a critic of their life-long labours, and who is aware that he has but skimmed the surface of subjects about which they are past masters of knowledge.
