Publisher's Synopsis

Memoirs Of A Griffin: Or A Cadet�������s First Year In India is a book written by Francis John Bellew in 1891. The book is a memoir of the author's first year as a cadet in India. The term ""griffin"" refers to a new arrival in India who is inexperienced and unfamiliar with the country's customs and traditions. In the book, Bellew describes his experiences as a griffin and the challenges he faced in adjusting to life in India. He writes about his training at the military academy, his interactions with the locals, and his travels throughout the country. Bellew also provides insights into the social and cultural aspects of India during the 19th century.The book is written in a humorous and engaging style, and Bellew's observations and anecdotes offer a unique perspective on life in India during the colonial era. Memoirs Of A Griffin: Or A Cadet�������s First Year In India is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the life of a British cadet in India during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
