Excerpt from Allnutt of Delhi: A Memoir Samuel Scott Allnutt, the subject of this memoir, once remarked to my father, in reply to the suggestion that he would soon be thinking of getting married: 'No, I'm married to India.' That reply may be truly said to strike the note of Allnutt's life, for he went out to India in 1879 and he continued there in his work as a member of the Cambridge Mission to Delhi until his death in 1917. And if mutual love is a proof of a happy marriage, a happy marriage it was. How he loved India and how his Indian friends loved him, these pages will show. I shall not apologize for this modest biography - except perhaps to the 'shade' of Allnutt himself. I can indeed imagine him saying in regard to such a matter, 'It is out of the question, let us hear no more about it.' But if it was put to him that some record of his life might help on the work he loved, I can equally imagine him replying, 'Well, if you really look at it in that light, perhaps I might allow it!'
