Excerpt from A Friend of India: Selections From the Speeches and Writings of B. G. Horniman One last word about B. G. Horniman as an Indian Nation alist. As one who has had intimate Opportunities of watching the working of his mind. It is a pleasure to me to be able to record that never once have I known his faith to be dimmed in the ultimate triumph of the cause of Indian N ationalism, - a cause to which he has dedicated a life of rare and rich endow ment. Buried as he has been in the thick of the fight, I can recall no single occasion when his resolution has flinched or his courage faltered before the ordeal of heavy odds or adverse fortune. Where it is a question of India's good his instincts are unerring: whoever else may fail or fall B. G. Horniman may be counted upon to remain staunch to the end in his'single-minded and incorruptible devotion to the cause of Indian Freedom.
