Book Description

About the Book "A Bird's-Eye View of Picturesque India" by Richard Temple, published in 1898, is a travelogue offering a comprehensive exploration of India's diverse regions and cultures. Temple vividly describes the landscapes, people, and customs from the Himalayas to the southern tip. Divided into chapters, the book covers the majestic Himalayas, northern plains' history, and the vibrant cities like Delhi and Agra. The author also delves into southern India's lush landscapes and unique culture.

About the Author Sir Richard Carnac Temple, 2nd Baronet, CB, CIE, FBA, FSA (1850-1931) was an Indian-born British administrator and the Chief Commissioner of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and an anthropological writer. Temple joined the Folklore Society in 1885 and among the papers he published in its journal was the science of folk-lore (1886). He wrote various works often dealing with the religions and geography of India.

Preface THE greater part of this work was originally written in the shape of articles for the Syndicate of Northern Newspapers at Kendal. These articles accordingly appeared in many newspapers during the early months of this year 1898, under the general title of "Picturesque India." It has now been determined to re-publish them together in a book, with some important additions and improvements, each article making a Chapter of the work in its new form. The scheme was, and still is, to present "a Bird's-eye View of Picturesque India," which is the title adopted for the book. Such a purview naturally embraced the principal features in the India of to-day, the land, the people, and the government.

Introduction India in the Diamond Jubilee year of 1897-Indian troubles in that year-The famine in several provinces -The plague in Bombay-The sedition in Poona-Rioting in Calcutta-Earthquakes in Calcutta and Assam-Uprising of tribes on North-West frontier-Large military operations-Apprehension of national unrest-General improvement in 1898-Closure of the Mints, and question of silver currency. I PROPOSE to give some account of India in her romantic and picturesque aspects. In no year since the beginning of British rule has she been more prominently before English eyes than in 1897. The Diamond Jubilee of the Queen Empress brought many of the native representatives to England.
