Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oriental Experience: A Selection of Essays and Addresses Delivered in Various Occasions This book is intended to be a continuation of my two former books, ´India in 1880,´ and ´Men and Events of my time in India.´ The volume comprises a collection of addresses and speeches delivered before Societies or Associations in Great Britain, and articles contributed to English magazines, by me since my return to England in 1880. They all relate to one great subject, namely, the East, and in that sense are all connected together. Almost all of them are the results of my personal experience. Though they are entirely pervaded by the one idea of that duty which we British people owe to ourselves and to others in the East, yet there is no sameness about them. On the contrary, there will, I trust, be found in them a ceaseless variety. In this loom, so to speak, are extended numerous threads of divers hues, but they are crossed by a woof of one colour, and that represents British responsibility. Thus the texture has an uniformity in general appearance with an endless diversity in detail. While British India naturally occupies a considerable portion of the volume, other regions of the East come into view. Out of the twenty-one chapters in the book, eleven refer to Indian affairs, and the remainder to different subjects in the East.
