A Sketch of Assam: With some account of the Hill Tribes

by Major John Butler

“These are truly Christian Parents’ Books, and happy would it be for the rising generation if their instructors and tutors would put these admirable works of Mr. Tayler into the hands of the young, while their tender minds are yet open to receive the good impressions which they are also calculated to convey.”—Christian Monitor.

“Universally and cordially do we recommend this delightful volume. We believe no person could read this work and not be the better for its pious and touching lessons. It is a page taken from the book of life, and eloquent with all the instruction of an excellent pattern: it is a commentary on the affectionate warning, ‘Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.’ We have not for some time seen a work we could so deservedly praise, or so conscientiously recommend.”—Literary Gazette.
