1A WOBD TO THE EEADEE.

3the world, that I have been induced to yield to the repeated

4solicitations of &iends, to give the public my mite of experience

5and knowledge of the country, its people, customs, government,

6army, etc., derived during eighteen months of pleasure travel in

7which I visited every part of India.

8All the views of places and edifices in this book, were taken by

9me on the spots they represent, and therefore may be relied upon

10as strictly correct. The reader will doubtless be well satisfied that

11Mr. J.W. Orr, who engraved the sketches, has added to his well-

12merited reputation in that department of art.

13With these few words to the reader, I dismiss the work, — of

14course wishing it success, — ^but feeling very sure, that whatever

15may be its fate, no person who m.ay hereafter follow my track, will

16find anything diflTorent from what is represented as having been

17seen by me ; and if the book should not prove to be interesting,

18it will at least be found correct.
