Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scenes and Characteristics of Hindostan, Vol. 1 of 2: With Sketches of Anglo-Indian Society
Many and excellent works have lately come under our notice illustrative of India, ancient and modern; but we do not know when our attention has been more forcibly attracted than by a series of sketches published by Miss Roberts in that excellent miscellany the Asiatic Journal. Light, animated, and graphic, they describe manners and people with spirit, and scenery with a tone of poetical feeling which alone can do justice to the magnificence of the East ern World. We hope she will be induced to collect them in a volume, and a delightful one it will be.
