Excerpt from Carlyon Sahib: A Drama in Four Acts

This play was written at Viareggio in 1893, and passed an eventful though not unchequered existence for six years before it teas produced by Mrs. Patrick Campbell at the Princess of Wales" Theatre, Kennington, on June 19, 1899. The version here published is not exactly that which was acted, though it is much nearer to the acted version than to the original play as it stood before I had the benefit of Mrs. Campbell"s vivid and helpful criticism.

I may remark here that the Play never had the ghost of a glimmer of a conscious political allusion in it; nor did it occur to me,when I put my Napoleonic hero in the surroundings which seemed to give most scope to his autocratic and unscrupulous genius, that any sane person would suppose that I wished to attack the Indian Civil Service.
