It is one of the most remarkable books ever written.....Everything is more or less impromptu.Yet there is a coherence,a design,that must set Westerners gasping.....Nehru makes even H.G.Wells seem singularly insular..One is awed by the breadth of Nehru\'s culture. -The New York Times, 1934 .....if in the future some Indian children are to learn English they will do well to insist that they are taught from these Glimpses rather than from Macaulay or from Gibbon.They will learn better history & better English.And they will learn attitude to human progress & the hopes of men that is today\'s modern; with their help this attitude can be the future\'s.Nehru has nothing of the dogmatic optimism of the last century that seems so pathetic & absurd to us now,the certainly that human progress is inevitable... -Tom Wintringham, Nehru Abhinandan Granth, 1949 About the Author The specification in this catalogue, including without limitation, price, format, extent, number of illustrations, and month of publication, was as accurate as possible at the time the catalogue was compiled.
