Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern India, Vol. 1 of 2: With Illustrations of the Resources and Capabilities of Hindustan
The great success which has attended these lively descriptions of our Eastern hemisphere has encouraged me to hope, that the additional inform ation which I am enabled to offer may prove acceptable to the public at large. Conscious of great inexperience in the decorative department, if I may be permitted so to style it, of literature, I have aimed at nothing beyond a plain and simple statement of facts. I claim no merits excepting those of accuracy, and of the patient investigation of objects connected with science, which I deemed of importance to persons anxious to invest capital in the cultivation, or to engage in the manufactures of a luxuriant but neglected soil.
