Book excerpt: "[...]native towns: there is much trade carried on in it, and it has the usual bustle of a large town. "Capt. Wade's house is well situated on a rising ground, and the demesne is a pretty one. Otherwise the country is ugly enough, and very bare, yet it is here well wooded, in comparison with what I hear of Ferozepore. Along the face of the hill near the town, a nullah flows, abounding in fish, of which more anon. The rock pigeons, or grouse, are very abundant, and there are two species, one remarkable for the elongated side-feathers of the tail. Both are beautiful birds, but very difficult of access. Crows, kites, vultures, adjutants, herons, Drongoles, sparrows, parrots, etc. remain as before, but most of the less common birds are different from those to the south; the most European are genuine starlings; and, to my memory of eight years back, identical with those of Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journals of Travels in Assam, Burma, Bootan, Affghanistan and the Neighbouring Countries His first appointment in India was to the coast of Tenasserim but in the year 1835 he was attached to the Bengal Presidency, and was selected to form one Of a rdeputation, consisting Of Dr. Wallich and himself as botanists, and Mr. Macclelland as geologist, to visit and inspect the Tea-forests (as they were called) of Assam, and to make researches in the natural history Of that almost unexplored district. This mission was for Mr. Griffith the commencement of a series Of journeys in pursuit Of botanical knowledge, embracing nearly the whole extent of the East India Company's extra-peninsular posses sions, and adding large collections, in every branch Of natural history, but especially botany, to those which, under the auspices Of the Indian Government, had previously been formed. He next, under the directions of Capt. Jenkins, the Commissioner, pushed his inves tigations to the utmost eastern limit Of the Company's territory, traversing the hitherto unexplored tracts in the neighbourhood Of the Mishmee mountains which lie between Suddiyaoand Ava. Of the splendid collection Of insects formed during this part of his tour some account has been given by Mr. Hope in the Transactions of the Entomological Society and in the eighteenth volume Of ourftown Transactions.

Download or read book Britain and Tibet 1765 1947 written by Julie G. Marshall and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography is a record of British relations with Tibet in the period 1765 to 1947. As such it also involves British relations with Russia and China, and with the Himalayan states of Ladakh, Lahul and Spiti, Kumaon and Garhwal, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Assam, in so far as British policy towards these states was affected by her desire to establish relations with Tibet. It also covers a subject of some importance in contemporary diplomacy. It was the legacy of unresolved problems concerning Tibet and its borders, bequeathed to India by Britain in 1947, which led to border disputes and ultimately to war between India and China in 1962. These borders are still in dispute today. It also provides background information to Tibet's claims to independence, an issue of current importance. The work is divided into a number of sections and subsections, based on chronology, geography and events. The introductions to each of the sections provide a condensed and informative history of the period and place the books and article in their historical context. Most entries are also annotated. This work is therefore both a history and a bibliography of the subject, and provides a rapid entry into a complex area for scholars in the fields of international relations and military history as well as Asian history.
