Copyist’s Note: Séfi & Mortimer’s “1 Anna Circular” has long been understood to be of ¼-rupee (= 4 annas) denomination, and vice versa. The interchange has been made throughout the text without comment. Of course notice is given wherever the interchange has not been made for one reason or another. Whenever we are able to substitute colored images for the authors’ drawings or b/w images we have done so. While the authors’ account is now understood to be erroneous in places, we have refrained from adding annotation. The wonder is that their account has stood up so well these eight decades along.
      The original 1937 publication served as a kind of memorial to the authors, C.H. Mortimer having died in October 1932 and Alexander Séfi in October 1934. Auction literature reports that 100 copies had been printed.
