“Romance and India are inseparably associated; but to glean more than a few jewels from the inexhaustible mine at our disposal is impossible within the limits of a single volume. This is in no sense a history; rather has it been the endeavour in the following pages to touch lightly upon the more romantic events in our empire story, and to trace by a series of picturesque incidents the gradual evolution of India, from the warring and troubled condition in which it was found by the hardy merchantadventurers of old, to its present proud position as “the brightest jewel in the Imperial Crown. ”” Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге India (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) (Victor Surridge)
