Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters Written While on a Collecting Trip in the East Indies Dear Mother: Here we are really off and it is most exciting. Last night we passed a very uneventful night, or rather I should say a decidedly eventful night, sitting up until almost eleven o'clock picking out every kernel of rice. This morning the rooms were strewn with it and the waste paper basket full of it. However we did not care. We had a very good breakfast in our rooms this morning and left the hotel at 7.40, having bought every paper and periodical obtainable in the city. Michael met us and gave us the letters which we decided we would not open until later on; so I cannot answer any of your questions, if you have asked me any. Our trunks and bags were taken to room 25, very large and very nice. I at once began unpacking the necessary things and while these were strewn about the floor and hung up on hooks, Mr. Emerson, from the New York Cunard office, came rushing up and said he must speak to Mr. Barbour. Tom stepped out and he said, "Mr. Barbour, I have got you a better room; follow me." We went about two doors up and there we saw an enormous state room, with a sitting room attached (it belonged to the purser) and he asked if we would like it and when we said "yes," he said, "Well, then it is yours." Then we were introduced to the Chief Steward and he took us down to the dining room and gave us a fine place at one of the best tables. Really it was great. He said anything we wanted he would get for us, etc., and so on. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Country Trade of the East Indies To all lovers of old ships the "Country Trade'' has ever presented an inexhaustible field of interest, the East Indies having found employment for almost every known description of vessel, in every stage of existence, - from the "crack" new teak-built ship, fresh from the hands of the Kidderpore or Damaun builders, to the ancient crock, wearily completing its last term of crazy decrepitude. Within the memory of the present generation have been seen, locally employed in the East, vessels of the most incongruous origin, though, in their "sere and yellow leaf," harmonising peacefully together in the same trade. The ' Lady Melville, ' formerly one of Green's famous "Black-wall " liners; the ' Suffolk, ' from Money Wigram; the ' Merchantman, ' a bitter rival, formerly one of Somes's frigate-built ships, were often to be seen in the "country tiers " in the Hooghly, perhaps alongside of the lowly 'Bleng, ' built at Whitehaven in 1841 to humbly follow the avocation of a collier, - now out here in company with ships which in their time carried out the Governor-General. The 1 Constance, ' formerly one of the Honourable Company's armed cruisers, was a frequent visitor to Calcutta, (her main-mast was one of the longest single sticks I have ever seen), perhaps alongside the ' Indomitable, ' which, launched from Sunderland in the "fifties' with great eclat to take her place in the service of the "Australian Auxiliary Screw-Clipper Co.," ended an interesting career out here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Modern Languages of the East Indies: Accompanied by Two Language-Maps A Classical Dictionary Of Hindu Mythology And Religion, Geography, History, And Literature. In this work an endeavour has been made to supply the long-felt want of a Hindu Classical Dictionary. The main portion of this work consists of mythology, but religion is bound up with mythology, and in many points the two are quite inseparable. This work will be a book of reference for all concerned in the government of the Hindus, but it will be more especially useful to young Civil Servants, and to masters and students in the universities, colleges, and schools in India. "This not only forms an indispensable book of reference to students of Indian literature, but is also of great general interest, as it gives in a concise and easily accessible form all that need be known about the personages of Hindu mythology whose names are so familiar, but of whom so little is known outside the limited circle of savants." - Times "It is no slight gain when such subjects are treated fairly and fully in a moderate space; and we need only add that the few wants which we may hope to see supplied in new editions detract but little from the general excellence of Mr. Dowson's work. - Saturday Review Selections From The Koran. ..".Has been long esteemed in this country as the compilation of one of the greatest Arabic scholars of the time, the late Mr. Lane, the well-known translator of the Arabian Nights... The present editor has enhanced the value of his relatives work by divesting the text of a great deal of extraneous matter introduced by way of comment, and prefixing an introduction." - Times "Mr. Poole is both a generous and a learned biographer... Mr. Poole tells us the facts... so far as it is possible for industry and criticism to ascertain them, and for literary skill to present them in a condensed and readable form." - English-man, Calcutta Modern India And The Indians, Being A Series Of Impressions, Notes, And Essays. This edition will be found a great improvement on those that preceded it. The author has taken care to avail himself of all such criticisms on particular passages in the previous editions as appeared to him to be just, and he has enlarged the work by more than a hundred pages of additional matter. "In this volume we have the thoughtful impressions of a thoughtful man on some of the most important questions connected with our Indian Empire... An enlightened observant man, travelling among an enlightened observant people, Professor Monier Williams has brought before the public in a pleasant form more of the manners and customs of the Queen's Indian subjects than we ever remember to have seen in any one work. He not only deserves the thanks of every Englishman for this able contribution to the study of Modern India - a subject with which we should be specially familiar - but he deserves the thanks of every Indian, Parsee or Hindu, Buddhist and Moslem, for his clear exposition of their manners, their creeds, and their necessities." - Times About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
