The Serpent Power — Arthur Avalon (Sir John Woodroffe) (1924)
“Politically India is dead; this is bad enough, but if cultural conquest follows the political, then She will be truly dead. Is India to be a mere name and Her culture assigned to the cold room of the Oriental scholar, or is She to be a living form? Sir John Woodroffe takes up the question with as much enthusiasm as the youngest Nationalist amongst us. His answer is one of courage and hope . . . but Sir John is not blind to the difficulties.” —The Searchlight.
p. xvi
“Inspiring title—he has, what is not given to many, understood the soul of India. He is a thorough sympathiser with Indian aspirations and has dwelt upon the real aim and purpose of our efforts. Ought to be read by every patriotic Indian. He will then have a clear vision and feel a new strength in his onward struggle.”—New India.
