To Waltair.--Cannauore and its Climate.--Disagreeable effect of the Monsoon.--Snipe-shooting and Fishing.--Moplahs.-- Fanatical Warriors.--To Bellary.--British Burmah.--The Andaman Islands.--Darjeeling and the .Himalayas.--End of Service in India. THE commencement of 1878 found me still at Nagpore, waiting for employment, which came in March. My first post was command of the Northern District, of which the head-quarters were at Waltair, on the east coast of the peninsula. I went by rail to Calcutta. At Calcutta I visited the Zoological Gardens, and was shocked at the wretched condition of the poor animals. The "Great Carnivora" were in a state of semi-starvation, mere frames of skin and bone. It was a shocking sight, discreditable alike to the committee who professed to manage the gardens and to the people of Calcutta, who did not make the committee do their duty and prevent the native subordinates, who were supposed to feed the animals, from peculating in so disgraceful a manner. I remained two months only at Waltair, for the Northern District was abolished in the interests of economy, and I was moved to the command of Malabar and Canara, on the western coast. Cannanore is the head-quarter station of this command, and here we remained until September 1880. The climate of this coast is not pleasant. An annual fall of 100 to 130 inches of rain is too much of a good thing, and the consequent steaminess of the atmosphere for more than half the year is excessively disagreeable. Everything at Cannanore partakes of mould and mildew; it is impossible to preserve books and pictures. In all houses there is a drying-room, in which are charcoal fires; and all articles liable to injury from damp are ranged on wooden frames, and on great...

It is an invaluable reference source on India of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Apart from the work of professional writers, there are the writings of a cross-section of society from soldiers to scientists.

Download or read book The Animal Estate written by Harriet Ritvo and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think about the Victorian age, we usually envision people together with animals: the Queen and her pugs, the sportsman with horses and hounds, the big game hunter with his wild kill, the gentleman farmer with a prize bull. Harriet Ritvo here gives us a vivid picture of how animals figured in English thinking during the nineteenth century and, by extension, how they served as metaphors for human psychological needs and sociopolitical aspirations. Victorian England was a period of burgeoning scientific cattle breeding and newly fashionable dog shows; an age of Empire and big game hunting; an era of reform and reformers that saw the birth of the Royal SPCA. Ritvo examines Victorian thinking about animals in the context of other lines of thought: evolution, class structure, popular science and natural history, imperial domination. The papers and publications of people and organizations concerned with agricultural breeding, veterinary medicine, the world of pets, vivisection and other humane causes, zoos, hunting at home and abroad, all reveal underlying assumptions and deeply held convictions—for example, about Britain’s imperial enterprise, social discipline, and the hierarchy of orders, in nature and in human society. Thus this book contributes a new new topic of inquiry to Victorian studies; its combination of rhetorical analysis with more conventional methods of historical research offers a novel perspective on Victorian culture. And because nineteenth-century attitudes and practices were often the ancestors of contemporary ones, this perspective can also inform modern debates about human–animal interactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses the significance of the hunting cult as a major element of the imperial experience in Africa and Asia. Through a study of the game laws and the beginnings of conservation in the 19th and early-20th centuries, the author demonstrates the racial inequalities which existed between Europeans and indigenous hunters. Africans were denied access to game, and the development of game reserves and national parks accelerated this process. Indigenous hunters in Africa and India were turned into "poachers" and only Europeans were permitted to hunt. In India, the hunting of animals became the chief recreation of military officers and civilian officials, a source of display and symbolic dominance of the environment. Imperial hunting fed the natural history craze of the day, and many hunters collected trophies and specimens for private and public collections as well as contributing to hunting literature. Adopting a radical approach to issues of conservation, this book links the hunting cult in Africa and India to the development of conservation, and consolidates widely-scattered material on the importance of hunting to the economics and nutrition of African societies.
