PREFATORY NOTE.
This monograph is an attempt to depict the life and character of an Indian reformer of the last century whose only worship was silent work. Earnestness was the keynote of all his efforts; he was no respecter of sham. Mastering as he did the collective wisdom of ages, he set forward to fulfil his mission of rejuvenating old India. Failures he was prepared to brave and turn to account. Difficulties only steeled him. He met bigotry by rishi-like catholicity. That his living personality might inspire others to do likewise is the fervent prayer of the author.
