The Times.—“He knows how to tell his experiences with pith and point, and his jungle lore is set out so as to appeal both to the novice and the initiate.... As a faithful account of conditions as they have been during the last quarter of a century Mr. Stebbing’s book is likely to have a definite and permanent value; and he knows well how to entertain as well as to instruct.”
Topee and Turban, or Here and There in India.
By Lieut-Col. H. A. Newell, I.A. With Illustrations from photographs. Demy 8vo. 16s. net.
Col. Newell’s guide-books to the various provinces of India are well known, but in the present volume he shows that it is not only Indian Geography with which he is conversant. He is equally at home with the History of India, with its Art and Mythology, its folk-lore, Religions, and its numerous races—whether it be in Kashmir or the Deccan.
The present book, which is very profusely illustrated with reproductions from photographs, is the record of numerous motor tours through the various provinces, in each of which Col. Newell tells us what is worth seeing—the landscape, or architecture, or for historic association, while he tells us all about the races who inhabit each particular district.
