The subject of Land Tenures, which has always ex- cited great attention in India, has recently also been forced into some prominence at home by the agitation of the Tenant Right League in Ireland; and it was thought that an account of a Tenure in some respects resembling the one which it is sought to obtain through that agitation, and which has been voluntarily granted to the peasantry of a portion of the Bombay Presidency, and is about, with all practicable speed, to be extended to the remainder, might prove interesting in England as well as in India.
It will be seen that, in the course of the inquiry, the writer's means of information, (which are for the most part indicated in the last article,) grew more extensive, and that he speaks, therefore, on one or two points with more confidence and decision in the latter than in the former of the pamphlet. There is also a certain assumption of identity with the Editor of the spirited and ably-conducted Journal in which the articles originally appeared, which, now that they are published in a separate form, the writer of course begs to disclaim.
