Epilogue. Books. Journals and newspapers. "This book dwells on the articles, cartoons, poems, letters, and other writings which were published in the Indian press as well as the British press, besides Curzon's own speeches, books and letters. A single shade does not make the picture complete. Therefore, this book has used both the Indian and the British sources so that the picture does not look one-sided. Indeed, Lord Curzon was the favorite viceroy of the Indian cartoonist. This book constitutes a valuable record for students and researchers of the history and relationship between India and England, as well as for connoisseurs of the cartoon art.".
