Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters Written During a Trip to Southern India Ceylon in the Winter of 1876 1877: With Original Illustations In the autumn of last year it was proposed to me to accompany my brother, the Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford, on his intended tour in Southern India; the objects he had in view in undertaking the journey being connected with his chair. After thirty-five years and upwards passed in the daily routine of professional life in London, I was glad of such a novel and interesting break. I accepted the proposal, and accompanied him. The following Letters were written as I travelled through the country. They are descriptive of my personal experiences only, and have been collected and are now printed for private circulation, in order to convey to my family and immediate friends the same pleasure which I myself enjoy in looking on rapid sketches from Nature done on the spot and not touched afterwards. The outline of our tour was as follows. We took our passage from Southampton, via the Suez Canal, direct to Bombay. Thence by rail due north to Ahmedabad, in Guzerat, about 300 miles distant from Bombay, and back to Bombay.
