TRAVELS IN INDIA

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO

By THOMAS TWINING

A Civil Servant of the Honourable East India Company

Preserved by his Son, Thomas Twining, of Twickenham, and Edited by the Rev. WILLIAM H. G. TWINING, Vicar of St. Stephen's, Westminster.

With Portrait and Map. Demy 8vo, cloth extra, l6s.

THOMAS TWINING was one of the energetic Englishmen who laid the foundations of the Indian Empire. He arrived in India in 1792. He quitted it finally in 1805. In the interval he had been entrusted with the reform of an extensive department of the public administration, had been appointed judge of a great district, had held the charge of a country containing more than ten thousand towns and villages, and more than two millions of people.

The ATHENAEUM, of March 10th, 1894, says :—" His style, clear, scholarly, and elegant, seems to harmonise with the portrait in the frontispiece, and. with the close of the ' periwig ' period in our ordinary dress. As a record of Indian travel his book deserves a place beside the corresponding works of Bernier and Tavernier."

SATURDAY REVIEW.—"One of the moat interesting and instructive narratives illustrative of native decline and fall and early English civilisation which it has ever been our good fortune to read. There is a simplicity, a self-reliance, and an observancy in the Diary which makes it very pleasant reading."

THE TIMES.— "The attractiveness of Twining's narrative depends not so much upon exciting adventure as upon its picturesqueness, and the general view it presents of Hindostan in the heyday of barbaric splendour and turbulence."

IRISH TIMES.—" 'There is no 'Indian' who will not read the book with pleasure."

SCOTSMAN.—" Students of Indian history may be able to fine some valuable things in these pages."

GLOBE.—"It gives a picture of the Indian life of that day which is obviously trustworthy and often deeply interesting."

MORNING POST.—" The special charm of this volume is its old-world character, its delightful simplicity, and the absence of all straining for effect."

DUNDEE ADVERTISER.—" It would be difficult to name a recent volume of travels at once so entertaining and so instructive."
