ONE OF INDIA'S "GREATEST SONS."
THIS brief narrative of the memorable
career of Mr. Jamsetji Nusservanji Tata is
now brought to a close. To his grateful
countrymen, in every part of this great
peninsula, it is a matter of profound regret
that a person of his talent and foresight, his
clear vision,- and indomitable resolution, his
perseverance and energy, his courage and
enterprise, should have been cut off at the
very time when the prospects of witnessing
the fruition at an early day of those great and
matured projects the seeds of which his ardent
patriotism had sown with the unremitting care
and attention of the experienced gardener were
so hopeful. That event was denied to him by
an unkind fate which cut off his career in the
very fulness of his manhood at the age of 65.
For some months before his death he was
ailing from cardiac affection. Under medical
advice he was recommended to go to Europe
for a change and treatment. He left Bombay
72
