Mr. S. Anavarata Vinayakam Pillay, M.A.L.T. The three lives are indeed interesting and I should say well-written. Historical information presented in this manner is readily absorbed and is bound to greatly benefit our boys and girls. The book will form a fitting reader for students in our schools and colleges. Thope you will follow this up with accounts of some more heroes whose lives are equally inspiring. Pandit C R. Namasivaya Mudalar. Lecturer, Queen Mary's College for Women, and Chairman, Tamil Board of Studies, Madras University saapape I தென்னிந்திய சரித்திர வீரர்கள்' என்னும் நூலைச் சிற்சில இடங்களிற் படித்துப் பார்த்தேன்; வசன நடை ஆற்றொழுக்காகச் செலகின்றது. இயற்கை நவிற்சியான சரித்திர நூல்கள் இக் காலத்தே பெரிதும் பயன்படுவன வாம். இவ் வகையில நண்பர் மாதவையர் மேற்கொண்ட முயற்சி பெரிதும் பாராட்டத் தக்கதாம்." Rao Bahadur Principal K. V. Rangaswamy Aiyangar. M. A, F. R 11. S. etc. 4 I have read it with very real pleasure. I found the lives of Aryanatha and Yusufkhan particularly enjoyable The facts and illustrations have been well chosen, and the stories are peculiar- ly fitted for study in our schools. It would be presumption in me to offer any opinion on the literary merits of any work of yours.. But I might be permitted to express my admiration for the care taken to ensure historical accuracy and at the same time to make the stories attractive and instructive. I hope that this little book and other historical stories of the same kind which you might find it possible to write, will be widely read. *
