Excerpt from Jottings on Coffee, Its Culture, Mysore As mentioned in the introduction, I published in 1876, some of my remarks on Leaf Disease, &c., in Pamphlet form; but as such was only for private circulation among my friends and Brother Planters in this District only one copy got as far as Ceylon. I have since frequently regretted the course I adopted and -wishing to procure greater publicity and ventilation for the subject, which I cannot but consider of vital importance to all engaged in the Coffee enterprise; I recently communicated my views to the Proprietor of the Caxton Press, and I have now to place on record an expression of my grateful acknowledgements to that gentleman for having most liberally undertaken to print and publish my "Jottings" in a convenient form entirely at his own risk and for having relieved me of all responsibility in the matter.
