Item description from seller

Good, sewn, in orig. brown wrapper. Lower corner lt. chafed. 351 p.; 28 halftone il. in text; 23 cm. [Expanded from the Toledo 1921 edition of 293 p.] Selected quotations -- `Chapter XII. Stunts of the native cooks and washermen. What we ate and how it was prepared. Cutting Christmas cake with hammer and butcher knife. Splitting a rock with a shirt.' (p. v) -- `Now look at the priest. Sometimes there are monasteries connected with the temples, so the wickedness increases, for all the priests have free access, not only to the temple, but to the girls within the temple! (Nobody but a Roman Catholic priest can enter the interior of a nunnery,--he carries a key and enteres at any time of day or night;--get the likeness between Hinduism and Romanism.) Look at that fellow, a big fat ugly mortal, nearly naked. Notice the sign between his eyes,--one would hate to meet him after dark. He is the holiest man in the entire temple. Oh! What a relief to be alone in the little compartment on that train,--speeding away from the abominable city of Benares!' (p. 220-22) -- `A study in contrasts. The author speaking to a carpenter said to be one hundred and fifteen years old, still working at his trade. Looks more like a monkey than a man. See his [twig] house.' (caption, p. 291) -- `A most holy guru. So holy he does not wear a stitch of cloth, but his matted hair is sufficient. Coated with sacred ashes, he holds a rosary in one hand and calmly smokes his [convoluted] pipe. Look at him until you feel the contamination of his teachings.' (caption, p. 339). 2nd edition. Binding is Paperbound.…
