From the introduction: "If I have succeeded in making Englishmen and Parsis better acquainted with each other I shall have realized to the fullest extent my purpose. The English Government in India has no more faithful subjects than the Parsis; and it is a proud privilege to feel that one has had something to do with the extension of a mutual knowledge. The Parsis will no doubt be glad to see a history of themselves written by a member of their own race, but they will be still more rejoiced if they can think that it will spread among the English a more general and a more correct knowledge of their position in the Indian community.
