Descrizione

About The Book : The object of this book has been to try to interest holiday people in our greatest I dependency and its two hundred millions of our fellow subjects. During the two winters the author have spent in India. The author have been much affected by the many social, political and religious problems awaiting solution by its people and their Government, but the author do not discuss them in these pages, which contain no controversial matter, either political or religious. The author only try to rouse superficial interest, by a plain statement of what may be seen by an ordinary traveller, in the most accessible portions of British India. My longest excursion does not leave the Railroad more than fifty miles, and none of the places described are inaccessible to a British tourist in good health. The author have supplemented my verbal descriptions with illustrations of buildings, scenery, types of nationality and incidents of the bazar which will, The author believe, be found very helpful to my readers; one good picture is worth many pages of written description, and the author can vouch for their truth and accuracy.
