The author had penned down these brief impressions of the Indian States as the guest of Indian or British friends, sometimes at the invitation of the Ruler or his Prime Minister. He has been greatly helped. by the libraries of the Royal Geographical Society and of Indian House.

In understanding the Indian Princely States he had been deeply influenced by various other books as Annals & Antiquities of Rajasthan by Colonel James Tod as well as many others on the same subject. He was fascinated by the Royalty of Rajasthan which could make him understand the colourful traditions of the States.

In writing these brief impressions of the Indian States I which I have visited, as a traveller or as the guest of Indian or British friends, sometimes at the invitation of the Ruler or his Prime Minister, I have been greatly helped by the courtesy of the Librarians of the Royal Geographical Society and of India House.

To many writers I am deeply indebted for the information and interest I have found in their books.
