Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Months in India, Vol. 1 of 2 IT was not MY intention, when I went to India, to write an account of my travels: my visit was purely one of friendly sympathy. Circumstances recorded in the following narrative, led me to modify my original intention, and greatly extended my sphere of observa tion. The light afl'orded me by my past experience, as well as the sympathy in my work of the Supreme Go vernment and that of each Presidency, and the friendly confidence of the native inhabitants, enabled me, in my brief visit, to see and learn much which does not usually come under the notice of travellers. Every thing, invested with the charm of novelty, produced a very vivid impression on my mind; and though I had no time while in the country to record in writing many of these impressions, yet I had peculiar opportunities of comparing them with those of official gentlemen, and of experienced residents in the country, and thus of correcting or strengthening them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Months in India, Vol. 2 of 2 Preparations were made for dinner outside the entrance, where it was refreshing again to be in the open air, and a sumptuous banquet was laid before us, which inspired us with feelings forming a striking con trast with what we had just experienced. The sight Of the sun setting on the water from a solitary elevation was most grand and elevating. Nature has throughout all ages borne her own unvarying testimony to the holiness and greatness Of the Creator, who is ever the same, though men forget Him in their many inventions. When darkness closed in, blue torches were lighted in the temple, which produced wonderful effects of light and shade on the large columns and sculptured figures. In due time we descended to the shore, and a brilliant moon lighted us Over the waters to our homes. The schools were, of course, an early object of my attention, after my return to Bombay. I was invited to see three, for girls, on the morning of February 7; from that time until my departure, visits to the schools, and conversation with the managers, so as to understand their real wants and wishes, occupied a very large share of my time and attention.

My first suburban visit was to Bishop's College, on Monday, Dec. 3. This splendid institution is on the other side of the Ganges, a few miles from the city; and I went there for a few days at the kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow, the former being the inspector of schools for the district. A pleasant drive, through a rural wooded district, was an agreeable change after the confinement of the city, where custom forbade a lady to take a walk even to a short distance from her home. Crossing the grand and beautiful river had always a great charm for me, even though it had to be preceded and followed by a somewhat unpleasant transit over the muddy banks, which had to be effected by being carried in a unique way to and from the boat. It was delightful to find myself again, for the first time since my arrival in India, in what might be really called country, and in the midst of friends who have a warm and practical interest in the education of the native community. My hostess, indeed, takes a considerable share in zenanavisiting, and in other institutions connected with female improvement. My attention was particularly drawn by another lady whom I met there, and who is engaged in the same good work, to the miserable condition of the poor East Indians or Eurasians, as they have been called, who exist in large numbers in Calcutta. As these are half-castes and profess Christianity, they do not fall within the sphere o

Download or read book Paris 1919 written by Margaret MacMillan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark work of narrative history, Paris 1919 is the first full-scale treatment of the Peace Conference in more than twenty-five years. It offers a scintillating view of those dramatic and fateful days when much of the modern world was sketched out, when countries were created—Iraq, Yugoslavia, Israel—whose troubles haunt us still. Winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize • Winner of the PEN Hessell Tiltman Prize • Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize Between January and July 1919, after “the war to end all wars,” men and women from around the world converged on Paris to shape the peace. Center stage, for the first time in history, was an American president, Woodrow Wilson, who with his Fourteen Points seemed to promise to so many people the fulfillment of their dreams. Stern, intransigent, impatient when it came to security concerns and wildly idealistic in his dream of a League of Nations that would resolve all future conflict peacefully, Wilson is only one of the larger-than-life characters who fill the pages of this extraordinary book. David Lloyd George, the gregarious and wily British prime minister, brought Winston Churchill and John Maynard Keynes. Lawrence of Arabia joined the Arab delegation. Ho Chi Minh, a kitchen assistant at the Ritz, submitted a petition for an independent Vietnam. For six months, Paris was effectively the center of the world as the peacemakers carved up bankrupt empires and created new countries. This book brings to life the personalities, ideals, and prejudices of the men who shaped the settlement. They pushed Russia to the sidelines, alienated China, and dismissed the Arabs. They struggled with the problems of Kosovo, of the Kurds, and of a homeland for the Jews. The peacemakers, so it has been said, failed dismally; above all they failed to prevent another war. Margaret MacMillan argues that they have unfairly been made the scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later. She refutes received ideas about the path from Versailles to World War II and debunks the widely accepted notion that reparations imposed on the Germans were in large part responsible for the Second World War. Praise for Paris 1919 “It’s easy to get into a war, but ending it is a more arduous matter. It was never more so than in 1919, at the Paris Conference. . . . This is an enthralling book: detailed, fair, unfailingly lively. Professor MacMillan has that essential quality of the historian, a narrative gift.” —Allan Massie, The Daily Telegraph (London)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Indian Hills, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Coffee-Planting in Southern India Colonel F returning to Madras with his wife and two daughters, was clearly to be ranked amongst the former, and it was plain to see some half-dozen young men scattered up and down the table were amongst the latter. I knew them much better before long, and found them excellent fellows, all very confident in their own abilities, and fully determined to make fortunes when they got out, but all with very vague ideas of India and coffee - planting, for which most of them - like myself - were bound. Amongst the other passengers were several ladies grass-widows going to look after their husbands, and young ladies going out to their parents; so there was small fear of a dull voyage.
