Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... occasion which we are met to celebrate to-night. To be deemed capable of the government of British India by a man''s own political party is an honour and a distinction of no mean kind. But to be judged, not by his own party, but by all parties, by the universal acclamations of all his countrymen--this is the honour enjoyed by my noble friend to-night. Nor would I omit to congratulate my noble friend on the nature of that appointment in itself. Of all the offices connected with the government of this great Empire and of its vast dependencies, there is none, in my opinion, to be compared with this. My noble friend does not go out, as another eminent Scotsman has lately done (Lord Elgin as Governor-General of Canada), to preside over a people instinct with the energies of the Saxon race, whose progress nothing can impede and no individual exertions can well accelerate. He does not go out to the task--more difficult, as it seems to me, than pleasing--of endeavouring to reconcile the forms and principles of monarchical government with the democratic tendencies of a great rising colony. In India we rule over a people inferior to ourselves, indeed, in knowledge, civilization and religion, but equal to ourselves, I do believe, in all the capabilities of human improvement--moral, political, social, and religious--a people full of the splendid germs of Eastern genius and intellect. It is with them that the influence of the great and good among us may bear glorious fruit. My noble friend leaves his own country with the blessings and the prayers of all who know him. We trust he will return to it again with the blessings and the prayers of those millions over whom he is now called to rule.'' ''Well, Argyll, you see you have won a great success. Allow me...
