Excerpt from Recreation of an Indian OfficialThe conditions of life in England are so different from the conditions of life in India, that I should not be surprised if the title Recreations, ' applied to the literary labour of this book, were gently cavilled at. And yet no other title would represent so accurately the circumstances under which its contents were written In Europe, ' if I may be allowed to quote from my own re¿ections in another work in Europe, where there is so much to tempt a man into the sun shine and Open air, where the streams invite the angler the slopes of the mountains, the botanist, the forests, the sportsman, and Where the merry laugh and innocent smiles of the daughters of the land invite all, it must require the virtue of a St. Anthony to persevere.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
