Download or read book India Pictorial and Descriptive Classic Reprint written by William Henry Davenport Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from India, Pictorial and Descriptive What is really necessary and desirable is, that the recently-awakened popular interest in India should be confirmed and extended by the difiiu'sion of trustworthy information respecting it. We ought to make the public as well acquainted with its affairs as they are with the affairs of the United Kingdom. We ought to accustom them to look upon it as an integral part of the Empire, to regard its inhabitants as their fellow - subjects, and to quicken in them an anxiety to promote the welfare of the masses of its population. The present volume is a contribution towards this great end. It does not, we admit, touch upon delicate points of religion or education; it does not profess to examine into the condition of the natives, or to adjust their relations towards the Imperial Government: it is, in fact, a book of description, and not of criticism and yet we are willing to hope that its usefulness will be recognized.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of China and India, Pictorial and Descriptive The Chinese are believed to have been, from very remote times, fond of reading and literary pursuits; yet, as far as our present information extends, they do not appear to possess any regular authentic history of the early state of their ancient empire. From the earliest times, it seems to have been the policy of this singular people to keep themselves distinct from the rest of mankind, to subsist on their own abundant resources, and to bar their country against the ingress of other nations.

Download or read book Pictorial Tour Round India Classic Reprint written by John Murdoch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial Tour Round India The Object of this book is to give the people of India a better idea of their own beautiful country. For many centuries pilgrims have visited supposed holy places and thus acquired a certain amount of knowledge, while, lately, by means of railways, travelling has been greatly facilitated. Still, few have made the circuit of India; great numbers have never left their native towns; besides, the numerous pictures will be to all a welcome addition to verbal accounts. The course proposed is to make an imaginary journey round the country, noticing some of the principal Objects of interest Several thick volumes would be required to describe every thing that ought to be mentioned. Many important cities and places will therefore be passed over, or only slightly noticed, especially Central India and most of the Deccan. One reason for this is the want of woodcuts, without which descriptions are much less intelligible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial History of China and India: Comprising a Description of Those Countries and Their Inhabitants, Embracing the Historical Events, Government, Religion, Education, Language, Literature, Arts, Manufactures, Productions, Commerce, and Manners and Customs of the People It would be impossible, in a narrative so brief and general as this, to speak individually of any but the most prominent of the numerous kingdoms and principalities into which the country has been divided at every period of its history. The existence of some of these has been but transient, while others have ourished for a considerable period, under a succession of powerful and wealthy princes; but, from the days of Alexander the Great till now, each succeeding century has witnessed so many revolutions among the na tive states of India, that very few traces remain of what they have been. The native Indians consist of two distinct people, the Hindus and the Moham medans, the former being the descendants of the ancient occupants of the country; the latter, of their conquerors, both Turks and Tartars. The Hindus, were, no doubt, in very distant times, a great people, but they have been for ages the prey of foreign invasion and, although their princes have always possessed dominions in various parts of the country, and many of them have.
