Invited by Sir S. Radhakrishnan, the learned and distinguished Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University, to deliver a course of three lectures on at subject of my choice, I accepted the kind invitation and selected the subject “Indian Politics since the Mutiny” on the advice of my friends, the right hon. Sir Taj Bahadur' Sapru and Mehta, Krishna Ram, the latter my colleague in the conduct of the leader. These lectures are called Allady Krishnaswami Iyer, the lectures as they were founded, at Sir Radhakrishnan's suggestion, by Sir Allady Krishnaswami Iyer, the learned Advocate-General of Madras. I feel grateful to Sir Radhakrishnan for the honor he did me.
