Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Natives of Northern India: With Thirty-Two Illustrations
Interest in the subject races of the British Empire should be especially keen in the Mother Country, where there are few families but send into our de pendencies some member, be it as Government official, soldier, or colonist. Anthropological text-books are at once too technical and too bulky to attract the ordinary reader, who wishes for no more than a sketch of habits and customs, accurate but readable, in which matter too abstruse, or otherwise unsuit able for general consumption, is omitted. The present series is intended to supply in handy and readable form the needs of those who wish to learn some thing of the life of the uncivilised races of our Empire; it will serve the purpose equally of those who remain at home and of those who fare forth into the world and come into personal contact with peeples in the lower stages of culture.
