THE EAST INDIA VOYAGER.
By EMMA ROBERTS.
The Publishers of this Work, with a view to render it as complete as possible, have added the Regulations established by the Court of Directors for appointments to the East India Company's Service. The "East India Voyager," whether proceeding in a Civil, Ecclesiastical, Military, Medical or Marine Capacity, will, on reference to this Work, acquire all the preliminary information connected with his appointment, and which, derived from Authentic Sources, is now, through a popular medium made extensively available.
"Miss Roberts's talents for observation have a wide and useful field in this publication, for which every European destined for India owes her deep gratitude. There is hardly a possible circumstance of which it does not treat, in a manner likely to be most advantageous to those who consult it: and on many subjects of vital consequence to the individual, there is such sound and sage advice, that it must indeed be well for those who will take the trouble to think upon and be guided by it. Need we add that it is a volume for all Indians to possess as a friend and counsel."—Literary Gazette, Aug. 3.
"The manner of the East India Voyager, is as agreeable as its matter is curiously instructive. To the general reader, many of the facts will seem minute, but looking at the persons for whom the volume is primarily designed, this is a necessity and a merit."—Spectator, Aug. 3.
"Miss Roberts has in the present work given much useful and valuable information to those journeying to India. It may, indeed, be called a vade mecum replete with knowledge. From the outfit of the cadet to that of the lady's boudoir, all is treated upon; the best route, the least expensive mode of travelling, the reader is made acquainted with in this volume. In one word, we can recommend it to all persons about proceeding to the East, as being the best practical guide that has hitherto been produced."—Sunday Times, Aug. 4, 1839.
