Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Language: English. About the Book:-While preparing the text of this discourse the author reveals that numerous and highly respectable class of readers who thirst for knowledge; and the many whose friends and relatives may have visited India, or may now be resident there, find this rare and valuable work unworthy their attention. To them it will, he hopes, at least, prove entertaining; while its value may be much enhanced with a large portion of those who may be about to proceed to the East. The desire to become useful, as well as amusing, has occasioned him to throw much general information, which could not with strict propriety have been brought under any particular head, without deviating from the intended limits of the publication, nor could such have been effected without many repetitions, which, though they might swell the volume greatly, would by no means have added either to the information or pleasure of the reader. A fair examination of the whole subject, would teach us to admire their general character; and to view them, individually, as being by no means unworthy of imitation. With regard to education, morality, and liberal principles, the gentlemen of the honourable East India Company's Civil and Military Establishments are second to none. The most interesting aspect is that a pictorial and narrative account of life in India for the European with 20 hand-coloured plates.A light and humorous book, this work gives a glimpse of the various manners of the British in India in the early 19th century. There are 20 plates in this book, and each is accompanied by short and amusing descriptions. The plates show : a European gentleman with his moonshee, a gentleman dressing, a gentleman with is sircar or money servant, a dancing woman of Bengal; a dancing woman of Lucknow; kaut pootlies or puppets, a native gentleman smoking a hooka, etc. The book ends with a short history of India : from the earliest times, up till the Maratha war. This work is a reprint of the 1813 edition. About the Author:-Sir Charles D'Oyly, 7th Baronet (1781–1845), was a British public official and painter from Dhaka. He was a member of the Bengal Civil Service based in Calcutta, Dhaka and Patna from 1797 to 1838. He was also a talented and prolific amateur artist who published many books featuring engravings and lithographs featuring Indian subject matter.D'Oyly was appointed as the Collector of Dacca (now Dhaka) in 1808.

Between 1832 and 1833, he took leave at the Cape of Good Hope, returning to Calcutta to fill the post of Senior Member of Customs, before retiring in 1838.
