Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Rambler's Recollections and Reflections IN my Preface I address myself mainly to the pro fessional critic and reviewer and to the anglo-indian official, and I plead their kindly generosity. To the critics I would say that I am an entertainer pure and simple, with no habit of the pen whatever. I feel that in their presence I am but as the dust of the earth (only, however, in reference to their own special line of life). I am like an amateur sitting down to play my first game of chess with Lasker or Black burne or starting out to box with Carpentier or Jack Johnson. Remember, what is sport to you is death to me you know the rules of the game - I don't so as you are strong be merciful to my humble efforts.
