Publisher’s note
The publication of the Bahrain Government Annual Reports 1924-1956 presents the complete
series of reports compiled by Sir Charles Belgrave, Adviser to the Ruler of Bahrain, between
1926 and his retirement in 1957. In the interest of bibliographical completeness the series
includes the first ever report prepared in 1924 by the British Political Agent, Major Clive
Daly, and the second report prepared by Belgrave retrospectively for 1925.
Volume I has been reprinted from possibly the only surviving text, a set of typescript carbon
copies in poor condition. By careful printing every attempt has been made to enhance the
legibility of these early reports.
The page size of the subsequent printed reports has been reduced in this edition to c.80%
of the original size.
