From the extreme delicacy of the aquatint Engravings of this Work, a limited number of Impressions only can be taken from them.
“This is a work, which bids fair not merely to establish the fame of Capt. Grindlay, but to do honour to the British arts; and if it meets with but small encouragement, we shall think it disreputable to the public taste, the improvement of which has, tardily, become an object of some solicitude to the state.”—Asiatic Journal.
“In our number for June last, we introduced to our readers, by a brief notice, the first part of the beautiful Work issued to the world under the above title. In the design and execution of that, we perceived sufficient excellence to justify our predicting its complete success: and we are gratified to find, that high as our expectations of general approbation for this undertaking undoubtedly were, they have been realized to their utmost extent.”—Oriental Herald.
“The fidelity of the representations, in the portion now under our eye, is very striking; and all the plates are most acceptable, as illustrating an extremely interesting and important country, hitherto little known either by literary or graphic means. The variety of these views, and the handsome style in which they are executed, will, together with the appropriate literary descriptions, recommend this publication not only to persons connected with India, but to the British public generally, and collectors in the arts.”—Literary Gazette.
