Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The author reveals that this book is a most interesting description of the varied activities in Mauritius at the end of the 1880s and later. If you have never been to Mauritius, or have no interests acquainting you with the island, it is not unlikely that you cannot,…without hesitation, locate its position on the map of the world; and, indeed, it may be that you cannot tell in which hemisphere it lies. Geography is not a subject in which the average person is very proficient, and Mauritius is synonymous with some vague far-distant place in the minds of many whose knowledge in other directions is both extensive and profound. This is a commemorative volume that, between its covers, gives a compressive over view of the Island. The chapters form a series of essays written by distinguished gentlemen who have had a long serving redaction with Mauritius. The chapters deal with the history, geology and topography, the extinct birds, the fauna, the economic flora, the Creole folklore, people and politics, scenery, sports, fishes, climate, the chamber of agriculture, the sugar industry, the aloe fiber industry, the ream industry, law and government, railways, ecclesiastical, education, architecture and the commercial Port Louis of Mauritius. This is a very informative and complete book on Mauritius at the turn of the century. The book is full of nice informative photographs that well illustrate the essays and a map. It was originally published in 1914. About the Author:-Allister Macmillan was a noted author and editor. He has 50 works in 157 publications in 1 language and 727 library holdings to his credit.
