Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pictorial Tour Round India
The Object of this book is to give the people of India a better idea of their own beautiful country. For many centuries pilgrims have visited supposed holy places and thus acquired a certain amount of knowledge, while, lately, by means of railways, travelling has been greatly facilitated. Still, few have made the circuit of India; great numbers have never left their native towns; besides, the numerous pictures will be to all a welcome addition to verbal accounts.
The course proposed is to make an imaginary journey round the country, noticing some of the principal Objects of interest Several thick volumes would be required to describe every thing that ought to be mentioned. Many important cities and places will therefore be passed over, or only slightly noticed, especially Central India and most of the Deccan. One reason for this is the want of woodcuts, without which descriptions are much less intelligible.
