Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Glimpse of Assam
There are also many who know almost nothing of a country so far outside the usual route of travel, and who desire information which is not easily obtained, as there is a decided lack of books on the subject. Robinson's Assam, published more than two score years ago, has: long been out of print; Dr. Hunter's Statistics of Assam, though a valuable book for reference, is large, expensive, and too statistical for general reading.
We fancy, too, there are many at a distance who have a financial interest in the great Tea industry of the province, and others who have kindred or friends engaged in It, who would feel a warm interest even in only a Glimpse of the surroundings.
If this brief descriptive glimpse of the chief points of interest in the country meets a want which will tend to the welfare of the people for whose best interest the writer has devoted many years of the prime of life, we are content.
