Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an 18th-century European's account of India. It is part of the rich history of European writings on India, starting with travelers in the 15th century and continuing to the founding of the British Empire. This book stands out in the genre for both its scope and its detail. The author, a French Jesuit missionary, traveled extensively throughout the major settlements of India and immersed himself in Indian society. This book is unique for the richness of its ethnographic description of Indian life in the 18th century, when Indian kingdoms had strong ties with global commerce but before European political and military power had taken hold. The author describes Indian government, social conventions, and religious practices with an unmatched level of detail.
