Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On India
From my intimate knowledge of native character, and of the peculiar views entertained by them about cows and swine, I at once guessed that it was possible for them to conclude that the English had introduced the use of the greased cartridge for a trick or charm to have them converted to Christianity; but I never dreamt of the story of the petition to the Queen, nor of the transmission of secret letters on the subject from Delhi to other parts of India. All this I learned afterwards, as will be explained in the sequel.
