Item description from seller

Language: English. About the Book: - The author has described the cultural heritage of India, especially in the three Presidencies of Bengal, Madras and Bombay at the time of British rule during a journey in the East, where he is supposed to get a warm welcome most assuredly. He may dissipate at once and for ever some of those fallacious opinions and crude notions that he persists in entertaining regarding that land called ‘India’. That he may experience a pleasant time of it during his visit at ‘Our Station’. He indulges a hope, and if in the Plates of ‘Curry and Rice’, now set before him, the flavor is found to be a little too spicy and a little too pungent, and, to many perhaps, a thought too hot, remember that it is the nature of Curry to be so. Trusting, however, that it will prove to be a dish to his liking, and leaving him alone to partake of it, and he hopes enjoy it. Through the numerous illustrations, the author explores the condition of the inhabitants in view of giving the book a uniform and beautiful touch. In that context, the book is good for all.
