Or, The Tour Of Sir Ali Baba K.C.B.
and THE TEAPOT SERIES
GEORGE R. ABERIGH-MACKAY Sometime Principal of the Rajkumar College Indore
Ninth Edition with New Illustrations and Elucidations
1914
In this edition it has been considered advisable to reproduce, verbatim, only the Twenty-one Days as originally published in Vanity Fair , the additional series of six included in several editions of the book issued after the Author's death being omitted.
The twenty-one papers in question have been supplemented by contributions to The Bombay Gazette , which appeared in that daily newspaper during the whole of the year 1880, the year before the Author's death, under the nom de plume of Our Political Orphan; and the Publishers beg to tender their best thanks to the proprietors of that newspaper for the permission thus generously accorded for their present reproduction.
A new series of illustrations has been specially prepared for this edition by Mr. George Darby of Calcutta, and the Publishers venture to think he has succeeded in a marked degree in embodying in his sketches the spirit of the Author's subjects.
In conclusion it has been the aim of the Publishers to render this new edition of a great work by a very gifted writer as perfect as possible and worthy of acceptance as a standard Anglo-Indian classic.
September, 1910.
