Through this work, the object of the author has been to furnish a full history of the early origin, gradual growth, internal development, and present condition of the English education among the natives of India, together with the various phases of policy which it has undergone, and the various measures which have been adopted, from time to time, in this behalf, by the Government. The present work seeks to avoid all controversial discussion or polemical arguments. Its aim is to narrate as fully, clearly, and simply as possible all the various facts, opinions, measures which any person, interested in the cause of English education in India, would like to know in order to form his own opinion or adopt measures for promoting that education in the future. The subject of primary and secondary English education has been only indirectly touched upon in this work. High English education is the main theme of this work.
