Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Round the World Toward the Westering Sun
Brief History of the Indian People by Sir W. W. Wilson, and Land of the Veda by Bishop Butler. All of these books I consider of inestimable value to the studious tourist through these most interesting countries. To a number of worthy people who aided me in my research and added their knowledge to assist me in my quest, I say, Thank you, in this general way, trusting that each may accept it as personal to himself. As in my book Through Egypt to Palestine, I shall in as far as possible avoid guide book details, and strive to describe the countries, peoples and cus toms as they appeared to, and impressed me. In seek ing to condense such a vast subject into a single volume, I find my difficulty in deciding what not to say, rather than in what I shall say. If I do not say too much, but leave my readers anxious for more, I shall be more pleased than if I shall have tired them.
