Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from India and Daily Life in Bengal I have briefly discussed British rule in India as I have seen it and know it. During our last term of service the unrest was at its height, and we were in the very storm-center of the cyclone. This is referred to from the standpoint from which I have viewed it. I have tried to present the facts and conditions in a plain, simple manner, so that any one can understand the situation as far as possible without actually being on the ground. The book was issued in the first place to answer questions regarding that great country, which every writer consulted took for granted that the people knew, but which, as a matter of fact, in general they very little understood. Simple questions about their build ings, occupations, mode of farming, productions, char acter of the natives, religions, methods of missionwork, obstacles, etc., are answered in a concise but clear way.
