Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anglo-Indian Studies My book, "Indian Problems," has not only been well received by the British Press, but has been quoted by Lord Curzon in a Debate in the House of Lords. Among my humble suggestions therein which aroused attention was the granting of the Victoria Cross to members of the Native Army, which was graciously taken into consideration by the King-Emperor, with the result that the much-coveted V.C. is now within the reach of my countrymen. Such circumstances have encouraged me to publish the present volume, "Anglo-Indian Studies." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anglo-Indian Worthies We have hitherto been considering Mr. Munro as a military officer. He was now about to quit the exciting and adventurous life of a soldier for a time, and to enter on civil employ and it is not using too strong language to say that he proved himself to be the very best civilian that India had yet seen. One Of the provinces then ceded to the Company was the Baramahal, or the twelve districts. It comprised the northern half of the present district Of Salem, and part Of North Arcot, being a continuation Of the table-land of Mysore and the Dekkan, and beingobe tween two and three thousand feet above the level of the sea. It was a beautiful and pleasant country, being diver sified here and there by hills Of considerable height and loveliness. The administration of the districts hitherto held in Southern India had not been a success; and, on the occupation of the newly acquired territory, Lord Corn wallis, the governor-general, who had himself conducted the campaign against Tippoo, and who was then at Madras, determined to place it under carefully selected military Officers, the services Of competent civilians acquainted with the languages and habits of the people not being available. Captain Read was chosen for t is duty, with the title of Superintendent of Revenue in he Baramahal, with three assistants under him, one of whom was Mr. Munro.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Humour and Pathos of Anglo-Indian Life: Extracts From His Brother's Note-Book The two ladies next in place to the Lady Sarah were Mrs. Smythe and Mrs. Forbes the fortrfer of these ladies sat on the Captain's left hand, and the latter next to Mrs. Smythe 5 both possessed pleasing features, and were good-looking persons, and both estimated the value of their respective positions to a hair's breadth. Both of them were wives of civilians in the Indian Service of about equal standing: the first a commissioner, the second a collector. In manners and appearance both these ladies had much in common; Oboth exhibited certain points Of difference, which attracted the attention of the of 1501101 on board, and probably caused them some amusement. Mrs. Smythe was shocked, and felt immediately called on to correct the transgressor, if anyone was thoughtless or un mannerly enough to call her Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Forbes, whose sister kept a milliner's shop in Ayr, lost no Oppor tunity of calling attention to the pedigree of her husband. She possessed several books on heraldry, and was in some degree acquainted with the shields, cognizances, and crests of most of the titled families in Scotland. She'was abso lutely perfect in those with whom her husband's family had intermarried, or were entitled to Claim kindred. Whenever an heraldic se'ance had taken place (as Mrs. Smythe used to term the researches and expositions of Mrs. Forbes), the former lady would compassionately remark, as soon as her friend was out of hearing, Poor thing! Her little weakness in this respect serves to amuse her and occupy her mind her own family were nobodies, that we all know, and she has no children, therefore we must make'excuses for her.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The White Dove of Amritzir a Romance of Anglo-Indian Life "Kasan Singh, how dare you!" and the speaker sprang up from before the table, at which he had been working, and looked down with an expression of mingled anger and pity at a man, crouching at his feet, muttering words in a strange tongue, but which, nevertheless, conveyed to the mind of the hearer a distinct idea of prayer and incantation. Far from being repulsed by the angry ejaculation, Kasan Singh's voice rose, as he dragged himself to where the officer stood, and then prostrated himself on the ground until his forehead touched the Englishman's feet. It was truly a strange scene. The first rays of the early morning sun, penetrating through the uplifted canvas, which formed the doorway, lit up the interior of a large, military tent. A huge Pathan, whose dark face was rendered still fiercer by his long hair, heavy black whiskers and moustache, stood at the entrance, a revolver in his hand, whilst in a corner half a dozen natives, clad in yellow robes with blue turbanned heads, crouched with outstretched hands, gazing in the direction of their comrade and of the man he was evidently adoring.

The monsoon had burst in sweat-drops at the end of June. Then came four steaming months, when the air was white with the hiss and the swish and the swirl of the rains. The swollen Ganges overtopped her banks, and foamed among the roots of the yellow babul-bushes. Porpoises turned somersaults in the brown eddies. The rain-birds wailed in every dripping grove.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bottle in the Smoke a Tale of Anglo-Indian Life The early dawn had given place to the golden sunlight of the Indian morning, but there was still ample shade within certain nooks in the compound of a pleasant-looking two-storied house in one of the leafy roads of Madras. Under an old banyan tree, with its tent-like stems turned downwards and its dense canopy of green overhead, stood a dainty breakfast table. Early tea was over. One bamboo chair had already been vacated by its occupant; in the other, sat a young English lady. Only two months previously Hester Rayner had left home a bride. "She is happy, I think," was always the remark, accompanied by a sigh, made by her anxious mother, as she passed the closely written pages of the latest letter across the rectory breakfast table to her husband. The young wife's letters gave no untrue expression of her state of feeling, yet there were times when the dream-like sensation which pervaded her outlook on the new surroundings disturbed her. The spell of the East was strong; the tropical life, the vivid colouring, the brown-skinned multitudes, the waving palms, all seemed to belong to a bright pageant in which she was only a passing spectator. And now, with the simple sense of duty which had marked the only daughter of the Pinkthorpe Rectory, she was asking herself whether it was right to yield so entirely to the wooing of the magic present.
